Mnangagwa Avails Agricultural Inputs Early Ahead Of Elections

Minister of Lands, Agriculture and Rural Resettlement Retired Air Chief Marshal Perrance Shiri launched the Presidential Inputs Scheme on Wednesday at Supa Township in Musana, Bindura. The scheme has been launched earlier than in previous years to allow smallholder farmers ample time to prepare for the 2018/ 2019 season.

Shiri said Government hopes inputs distribution will be completed by September. The input pack for household food production will provide 10kg seed maize, 5kg sorghum seed 50kg basal fertiliser (Compound D) and 50kg top dressing fertiliser. In addition, farmers will receive 10kg soya beans. Other inputs include sugar beans and cowpeas meant to address nutritional needs at household level. The cotton input package will comprise 20kg seed, two bags of basal fertiliser, Compound L and one bag of top dressing (fertiliser). This package will also come with agro-chemicals for pest control.
