Great to see the private sector investing in smallholder production. Kudos to Coopers 👏 But how can we take the message nationwide? Would an industry approach be feasible?

@MichaelDawes01 of @apt_zimbabwe noted that farmers are sitting on a 3 legged marketing stool, whose legs need to be balanced: 1. Output market 2. Service market 3. Rules and regulations @faosfsafrica @MoLAFWRD_Zim @DonaldTchidoori @zfu_official
