As a Ministry, irrigation development is one of our key thrusts, utilizing all the water bodies and all the resources that we have for self-sufficiency in terms of food production.

[Obert Jiri @obertjiri]

For the upcoming season, we will focus on selecting crops that align with agroecological conditions to enhance climate-proofing at both the household level through Pfumvudza/Intwasa and the national level by expanding irrigation.
