Zimbabwe's government is set to distribute inputs for its Pfumvudza/Intwasa scheme to over three million registered farmers by October 1, marking a departure from the previous distribution timeline in November or December. The scheme, which promotes climate-smart conservation agriculture and benefits from normal to above normal rainfall forecasts for the 2022-2023 season, aims to prepare farmers for a bumper harvest. The inputs, including maize seed and fertilizers, will be distributed according to agro-ecological regions to cater to specific crop needs. An input distribution committee at the ward level and a national database by the Agricultural Marketing Authority will help ensure transparency and accountability in the distribution process.
