Masuka in Rome as Zimbabwe exits the hunger hotspot list

Zimbabwe's agriculture minister travels to Rome for a major food conference. Dr. Anxious Masuka represents his country at the Food and Agriculture Organisation meeting. The three-day event started Friday with African Union and European Union agriculture leaders. Officials discuss ways to fight hunger across developing nations. The conference runs through Sunday.

Food experts recently removed Zimbabwe from their list of global hunger trouble spots. Five other African countries also came off the dangerous list. Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia and Zambia joined Zimbabwe. The Hunger Hotspots 2025 report shows major progress against food shortages. Better weather, smart policies and teamwork helped these countries improve.

Ministers focus on three main topics during their Rome meetings. Leaders talk about money for farm systems and food chains. They discuss farming methods that protect the environment and fight climate problems. Research, new ideas and technology also top their agenda. These areas help countries build strong food supplies.

Zimbabwe has received millions of dollars from European and international food groups over many years. The money supports farm development programs across the country. Technical experts also provide help to improve farming methods. The European Union and FAO lead these support efforts. This assistance helps farmers grow more food.

Food security experts praise Zimbabwe's removal from the hunger list. The country achieved food security during its most recent farming season. Officials say this shows Zimbabwe can feed its people reliably. The progress marks a big step toward long-term food stability. Stakeholders celebrate this important milestone for the nation.
