Thieving GMB, Agritex Officials Worse Than Witches, Says Mliswa-Chikoka

By James Muonwa, Mashonaland West Correspondent UNSCRUPULOUS Grain Marketing Board (GMB) and Agricultural Extension Services (Agritex) officials stealing and diverting farming inputs onto the black market for resale are “worse than witches”, Mashonaland West provincial minister, Mary Mliswa-Chikoka has said. She was speaking Wednesday at a stakeholders’ meeting in Chinhoyi to discuss the 2020 cropping season post-harvest modalities and plans for the impending 2021 winter wheat season. The minister said those stealing the public property were sabotaging government’s efforts to ensure the country attained food self-sufficiency. Minister Mliswa-Chikoka said deserving beneficiaries of the CBZ Agro-Yield financed Command Agricultural Programme were being denied inputs on flimsy grounds, while some corrupt elements within the two quasi-governmental institutions were stealing inputs or demanding bribes from desperate farmers in return for seed or fertiliser.

Zimbabwe Finally Restores Food Self-Sufficiency After Two Decades

By Alois Vinga AFTER almost two decades of grappling with drought induced hunger, among other causes, latest statistics on impending harvest projections released by government indicate the country has broken the previous poor harvest records. Presenting the state of preparedness for the 2020/21 harvesting period, Lands and Agriculture Minister, Anxious Masuka Tuesday told Cabinet Ministers that a bumper harvest was expected following a season of good rains. “An estimated national production of 2.5 to 2.8 million metric tonnes of maize and 360 000 metric tonnes of traditional grains has been based on the promising bumper harvest in 2021,” he said. The projected harvests are way more than the 2020 yields which stood at 907 628 metric tonnes.
