The popularity of the Zimbabwean🇿🇼 chilli crop has created opportunities for small-scale producers. With the support of @euinzim in projects like @ABCGokwe & @Scope4Ivc, we have helped chilli producers in Gokwe with knowledge on how to increase their yield and secure markets.

The ABC, through the Farmers in Action cooperative, contracted close to 4000 farmers for sunflower production in #Gokwe south. The crops look excellent and a good harvest is expected. The product is processed locally into high grade oil. @WHH_Zimbabwe @euinzim @MoLAFWRD_Zim

With support from @euinzim, our @ABCGokwe project has helped peanut farmers in Gokwe South secure a good return for their crop by processing it into peanut butter. It's sold in urban areas as far as @cohsunshinecity , where prices & demand guarantee a better profit.

[ABC_Gokwe @ABCGokwe]

@daddyhope Great observation. That is what the Agricultura Business Center is doing in Gokwe. We plan to expand to Murewa/Mutoko next year. Mind however that not all varieties are suitable for drying.

“While my fellow pastors in cities are being taken care of by the congregants, it's a different case for me. I'm able to take care of my family without the help of congregants”.Gilton Zipombe is a pastor in Gokwe. He started farming to grow his income & become self-sufficient.

[WHH Zimbabwe Welthungerhilfe @WHH_Zimbabwe]

Through the @euinzim funded @ABCGokwe project, he received training on entrepreneurship. He applied his skills on the land he had, venturing into horticulture. He specialised in cabbages, tomatoes & onions which earn revenue for him and complement his family's food supplies.
