He added that Cabinet approved continued power supply to irrigations while inputs would be provided to registered farmers using the Grain Marketing Board network of depots. The development comes when the country is facing an acute shortage of wheat and mealie-meal despite reports saying that it financed Command Agriculture through Sakunda Holdings, to the tune of US$3 billion when Command Agriculture was introduced. The government admits there has been rampant looting of inputs by farmers and top government officials.
