#pamumango it's time for value addition lessons at Chivinge Village Business Unit with assistance from #Agritex officers. Today it's home-made Marmalade production using oranges grown at the farm. @obertjiri

Irrigation expansion is part of the national strategy to reduce reliance on rain-fed agriculture amid increasing climate variability. Government’s long term target is to expand irrigated cereal production to 350 000Ha to ensure national food self-sufficiency.

Livestock farmers should act now. Early drought preparedness is the only way to protect herds and livelihoods ahead of the El Nino season.

@obertjiri Its action time

[Obert Jiri @obertjiri]

In preparation for the forecasted Super El Nino, Zimbabwe will ring‑fence 150,000MT of grain for the Strategic Grain Reserve, secure 150,000MT from this winter’s production and a further 150,000MT from 2027 winter production. This ensures food security for vulnerable groups.

The response to the predicted Super El Nino in 2026/27 prioritizes Pfumvudza/Intwasa & agro‑ecological tailoring. These climate‑smart approaches boost yields & align crops to local conditions. This is a national policy direction for resilience.

Agricultural insurance is a strategic policy instrument that cushions farmers against climate and market shocks, stabilizes rural incomes and strengthens national food security.

Strengthening veterinary surveillance systems in Zimbabwe is vital to tackling diseases such as FMD, rabies, anthrax and avian influenza. Robust monitoring enables rapid containment, protects farmer livelihoods and safeguards public health.

Sustainable land management practices are being scaled up to combat soil degradation & enhance productivity. Conservation agriculture & climate‑smart technologies are reinforcing Zimbabwe’s commitment to long‑term food security & environmental stewardship

Strong value chains are the architecture of sustainable agricultural transformation. They connect producers, processors and consumers into one coherent system.

Local collaborations among Agritex, school leadership, agro-dealers, and traditional authorities continue to strengthen community-driven agricultural transformation. Unified knowledge systems remain the backbone of sustainable development.

I honoured three outstanding athletes by awarding them vehicles.

Tabeth Mutinhiri, captain of Herentals Queens, was recognised for leading her team to victory in the Women’s Football League.

Emmanuel Jalai, captain of Dynamos Football Club, was honoured for guiding his team to win the Chibuku Super Cup.

Sikandar Raza, captain of the Chevrons, was recognised for his exceptional performances and for rising to the world’s number one ODI all-rounder ranking.

I commend these athletes for their dedication and excellence, which continue to uplift Zimbabwe’s sporting profile.
