Govt warns against agric inputs abuse

MIDLANDS Provincial Affairs minister Owen Ncube has warned farmers against the temptation of selling off inputs availed to them under the Presidential Inputs Support Scheme, as that would attract prosecution.

Ncube said the inputs should be properly used to increase agricultural productivity to enhance food security in the country.

“All farmers should make good use of these inputs in the fields and not in the market,” Ncube said late last week at the launch of the scheme for the Midlands province at Mazvihwa village, Zvishavane.
