The Zimbabwean government is planning to produce 120,000 hectares of wheat in the upcoming winter season, a move aimed at mitigating the effects of the severe El Nino drought that led to a 72% drop in grain harvest. This strategy, part of the country's efforts to achieve self-sufficiency in wheat and maize, is expected to yield 600,000 tonnes of wheat at a conservative estimate. The government is also focusing on building strategic grain reserves and encouraging stakeholder partnerships to achieve this production target. Additionally, the government has secured 100 megawatts of electricity for wheat irrigation and has allocated funds for production requirements.
