There’s a lot on social media and it’s easy to fall for the temptation to respond to everything because it is exciting, offensive or provocative. Choose your battles carefully. It’s ok to scroll past and let sleeping dogs lie. You will find that the sun will still rise tomorrow.

An analysis of our borrowing trends, shows that the Agriculture sector is the biggest borrower & hence will suffer the most from the ban on lending. There is need to clarify on what happens to wheat loans that were pending before banks, as the planting window closes in 3 weeks

3. A farmer buys seed, fertilizers and pesticides. He pays wage bills, fuel bills and electricity for irrigation. If he is offered a GMB price which is lower than his expenditure, why should he be forced to sell for a loss? This is tragic stuff of 1960s communist States!

🟡Strangely, they set interest rates at 200% yet under the common law, interest must never exceed 100% of the debt in terms of the common law in duplum rule which has not been repealed. This is the poorly thought out, legally unsound approach they prefer to policymaking.

The ward based soil pH gives an indication of whether farmers need to lime their soils or not. Liming is critical in improving crop production and productivity. #itsallaboutsoilconditioning# Peter Gambara Obert Maminimini Manditsvara Hilda Tarisai John Basera ARDAS (AGRITEX) MLAFWRD Zim

This is how the President of Zambia traveled to New York for UN General Assembly. Why do you think IMF gave him $1.3bn, and China has agreed to renegotiate the bad loans his predecessor entered into? Because they realise the man is frugal and means well for his people.

In the midst of celebrating the highest wheat production since 1962, 2022 was the worst and most difficult year for wheat farmers since 1962. Non-payment & high interest rates are the stinking variables in wheat production. Need to reconcile celebration and farmer hardships.

If there is one thing farmers would ask the Government to do in 2023, it is the removal of high interest rates. Reasons for these punitive rates are well understood, but let it be targeted. By using a 'double-barrel' shot-gun, are we not cutting the branch we're sitting on?

3. You claimed Prof Jonathan Moyo, that in 2018, Chamisa got 66%, Mr Mnangagwa 33%, and all other presidential candidates shared 1%. The proverbial elephant in the game, as per your Excelgate, was the CIO & ZEC, with MDC-A helping matters, by not having adequate election agents.

Especially now, when farmers are preparing to plant wheat. Let them import ONLY the shortfall. Keeping the window open for wheat imports even when local wheat is being harvested disadvantages local farmers as prices will remain subdued.

Wish this was still true today. You left fact that the money was also enough to send kids up to secondary school for a whole year. Farmers were adequately rewarded then.
