GOVERNMENT’S efforts to climate-proof agriculture are bearing fruit, a Cabinet Minister has said.
Addressing Tuesday’s post-Cabinet briefing, acting Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Dr Sekai Nzenza said: “Government is pleased that increased traditional grains intake by Masvingo and Matabeleland North Grain Marketing Board depots bear testimony to the ongoing success of climate-proofing efforts encompassing targeted distribution of seed varieties according to agro-ecological zones in order to ensure food security.”
Dr Nzenza said grain sales currently stand at $24,5 billion, comprising an output of 222 558 tonnes of maize, wheat, soyabeans and traditional grains.
