Mugabe opens Harare Agric Show

PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe yesterday officially opened the 104th show of the Zimbabwe Agricultural Society and called on agricultural stakeholders to be fully prepared ahead of the 2014 to 2015 season.

The yesteryear pomp and fanfare punctuated with bustling crowds at the official opening was not evident as part of Exhibition Park was empty.

Mugabe said government was happy that maize and grain production was set to surpass 1,4 million tonnes, enough to ensure national food self-sufficiency.
