Don’t wait for govt inputs, farmers urged

Farmers should prepare adequately ahead of the onset of the agricultural season and avoid waiting for the rains or government inputs, a senior agricultural expert has said.

Zimbabwe Commercial Farmers Union executive director Paul Zakariya said the preparations would also include buying seed, fertilisers and various other inputs.

Zakaria’s sentiments come after the Meteorological Services Department (MSD) called on farmers to work with agricultural experts to prepare for the normal to below normal rains expected during the 2023-24 agricultural season.
