Mwenezi farmers turn agriculture into profitable ventures

Farmers in Mwenezi, a drought-prone district in Masvingo, are turning agricultural production into income-generating businesses through value addition, horticulture and poultry, while strengthening household food security and resilience.

The Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development ministry said the initiatives are under phase two of the Zimbabwe Resilience Building Fund (ZRBF 2).

The ZRBF-2 is a government-led programme supported by the European Union and the government of Ireland, in partnership with United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO).
