Govt urged to support agriculture sector

GOVERNMENT should put in place a policy framework to support players working in the agricultural sector to be able to consolidate information from markets, an agricultural research group has said.

Mbare Musika is Zimbabwe’s biggest fresh produce market and in the month of May, the market generated estimated revenue of above $1,8 million from the sale of 15 products.

An agriculture research group, eMKambo, said agricultural extension departments should be capacitated to gather as much information as possible about production in their areas as well as surplus for markets.
