*ZESA To Prioritise Winter Wheat Farmers* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?fq The Government has made arrangements with the Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA) and Zimbabwe National Water Authority (ZINWA) to ensure that winter wheat farmers have adequate electricity and water respectively. This was said by Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development Permanent Secretary John Basera on Wednesday. ---------- 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 ---------- Basera was speaking at the Mashonaland East wheat planting preparedness discussion day in Marondera. He said: > The issue of power has been thoroughly assessed and discussed with ZESA. Ring-fencing of power for wheat farmers is guaranteed. > We are going to have sufficient power for wheat-producing farmers. We are Going4Growth and we must have wheat and flour self-sufficiency at all costs. > Uninterrupted electricity and water supply will change the dynamics of wheat farming in the country. Basera, however, urged farmers to pay their outstanding debts to ZESA so that the power utility will be able to guarantee electricity supply. The recommended sowing period for wheat is early April to the end of May and planting has commenced in areas such as Mashonaland West. The Sunday Mail reported that an estimated 85 000 hectares will be put under winter wheat this year for a targetted output of 408 000 tonnes. If that is achieved, it will surpass last year’s record of 380 000 tonnes. More: Pindula News _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
