Harare — Vice President Joice Mujuru has assured farmers in Mashonaland Central that more seed will be delivered to Grain Marketing Board depots in the coming week and urged them to prepare adequately for the forthcoming season.

Cde Mujuru said she met seed companies early this week following a recommendation by President Mugabe during a Cabinet meeting and got an assurance that there was enough seed to meet demand this farming season. Addressing thousands of Zanu-PF supporters during her tour of the province on Thursday, Cde Mujuru urged farmers to prepare for a successful farming season. She said farmers should expect more deliveries next week and urged traditional leaders to ensure maximum productivity in areas under their jurisdiction. She said with Government providing various farming implements under the mechanisation programme, farmers must boost productivity this season so that Zimbabwe does not waste foreign currency importing maize.
