President Mnangagwa opened new smart grain silos in Kwekwe yesterday. These storage units can hold 56000 tons of grain through seven high-tech towers that started working Sunday.

This launch comes as the nation recovers from dry weather that hurt farms across Southern Africa. The government stepped up work to protect grain supplies through better storage buildings.
The Kwekwe silos start a national push to build stronger food reserves. Officials plan to build 14 new silo groups in farm areas like Beitbridge, Gwanda, Lupane, Gokwe, Masvingo and Mutare. Each group stores 8000 tons of grain, helping reach a...

Markets see more than 150 tonnes of onions arrive each day, causing prices to fall from $10 per pocket to between $6 and $9 per kilo. Knowledge Transfer Africa head Dr Charles Dhewa says this shows supply exceeds what people need. He warns farmers will earn less money if they keep growing crops without knowing customer demand. Many farmers grow onions because they seem easy to plant, and seed companies push various types.
Experts ask farmers to look for new places to sell their extra onions as local growing ramps up soon. Agritex specialist Innocent Shayamano explains that current market floods come from imports, not local farms. Local onion harvests start in June after February to April planting time. Zimbabwe offers good conditions...
