Deputy Minister of Lands, Agriculture and Rural Settlement Vangelis Haritatos assured the nation that no-one will starve. He said: ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- > We still have in excess of five months’ maize in stock. People should take note that this is before the current 2018/2019 maize season deliveries. > The Government will not hesitate to import maize to supplement our supplies and no one will go hungry. The government recently announced new producers prices for major grains and farmers expressed satisfaction with the development. Zimbabwe Commercial Farmers Union (ZCFU) president Mr Shadreck Makombe had this to say: > The Government raised the producer prices, but inputs, especially the hybrid seeds, that have been currently introduced, are pegged at high prices. > This will leave farmers to grow low yield seeds which are affordable and stop us from reaching maximum production levels. The prices are as follows: Maize – RTGS$726 per tonne Wheat – RTGS$1089.69 per tonne Soya – RTGS$918 per tonne Cotton – RTGS$1950 per tonne *Related:* *Biti Condemns Maize Producer Price Controls* *Govt Sets Producer Prices For 2018/19 Season Harvest* *More: The Sunday Mail* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
