Govt to review soya bean price upwards

Speaking during a tour of farms under Command Wheat in Mashonaland East Province yesterday, Acting President Emmerson Mnangagwa said that Government is considering reviewing the producer price of soya beans from the current $610 to encourage farmers to grow the crop.

Said Mnangagwa:

Some farmers realise that if they grow soyabeans they get four tonnes per hectare and if they grow maize they get eight tonnes. This means they will get more profit from growing maize. So we are going to review the price of soyabeans to strike a balance between the two crops.
