Founder and CEO of Mnandi . Co- founder @ women who farm Africa . Our dream and hope is to help reduce poverty and malnutrition in rural livelihoods in Africa.
It is with a great sense of sorrow that we inform stakeholders in the agricultural industry of the passing on of Retired Major Abdul Credit Gabriel Nyathi, President of the ZFU, on 18 May 2024 at his farm. Our sincere condolences to his family and the entire farming community.
@Lisaphiri1 Think it’s diff for everyone . Some peoples Zim life is comfortable living in modern homes in good neighborhoods with back to power , helpers etc but many times this isn’t the case for everyone so others opt to leave .
@drDendere The loss of our people to the diaspora was felt by families as some parents died without their children being by they’re side . Children grew up without parents . Spouses fell out of love or found love somewhere else . Talent in organizations was lost .
@drDendere I would love to read your book . Many left and some excelled and others longed to return but the fear of the unknown or loss of opportunity caused them never to return and after many years many will never return and might be buried in foreign lands .
@drDendere@ndinifadzi As a person who lives in Zim reading this is heart breaking thinking of those who are abroad and are family and friends who long to come home as we long for them to return and not only for funerals .

GFN's Ruramiso Mashumba speaking today at AGRF on Climate finance. Farmers in Africa need to adopt climate Adaptation tools & techniques however we face the dilemma of how to fund it. Blended finance including grants and investment funds are ideal.@KokuOnyi@RuramisoM
I am truly disappointed with @liquidhomezim discriminatory billing . How am I charged almost double for the same service . Access to internet shouldn’t discriminate
One of the greatest challenges I see in agriculture is that the industry is full of advisers that have never farmed a day in their life . It’s easy to assume certain things when it’s not your reality . -These are my after 10 years in farming reflections
Disorganized markets strain farmers :-
This farming season has been the hardest I have seen in terms of access to markets . Potato fert and diesel doubled . 4hrs of power 2 irrigate . Blacks rented to white who are flooding markets =Realizing $ of production is impossible
I got 2 visit @Japanesefarmer association 2 learn how they have mnged 2 organize #SHF.
The association has membership of thousands farmer . Farmers bring produce 2 wholesale they package 4 farmers supply end market offer training , affordable financing , insurance .
