Zimbabwe to Produce 2m Tons of Maize

The Government of Zimbabwe's Command Agriculture is a unique national food security intervention that puts the country in the lead in implementing SADC and African Union programmes, South African Ambassador to Zimbabwe Mr Mphakama Mbete stated.

He said the initiative would capacitate commercial farmers to join the lucrative agricultural value chain processing market.

Since the launch of the programme recently, over 500 farmers have applied to take part in the scheme while more applications are still pouring in.
