This is what regional cooperation looks like in action. The resolutions have been made — now implementation is everything.

With climate change as a defining pressure point, Zimbabwe calls for robust, climate‑resilient systems to protect productivity & sustain livelihoods.

[Obert Jiri @obertjiri]

Zimbabwe’s agricultural future depends on high‑impact partnerships that drive competitiveness, resilience & inclusive growth. Agriculture must be private sector‑led, with Government enabling investment & seamless value chain integration.

Big decisions start with bold conversations!

The ZFU National Council Meeting brought leaders together to share ideas, align vision, and chart the path forward for farmers across Zimbabwe.
These gatherings aren’t just meetings they’re where strategy turns into action.

🔴@zfu_official has raised alarm over rising fuel prices, warning that recent increases are beginning to undermine agricultural productivity, particularly for winter wheat farmers currently in the middle of the planting season.

ZFU convened a Women’s Empowerment Meeting in Mhondoro-Ngezi. President J Jawi emphasized that women are central to Zimbabwe’s food security. The event featured biochar and compost demonstrations to support resilient, sustainable agriculture.

[ZFU_Official @zfu_official]

ZFU President's solidarity message needs no interpretation: Empower a woman farmer - strengthen the entire rural economy .

ZFU takes this call to action as an obligation to advance women’s involvement in farming and empowering communities.

Digitalisation is transforming agriculture. From e-farming platforms & satellite crop monitoring to digital farmer registration, we continue on the journey of modernising our agricultural sector. We are making farming smarter, more efficient & more inclusive.
