A Mutoko farmer, Denford Dzenzi, has significantly transformed his agricultural operations after winning a national competition. He earned first place in the Valley Seeds Pfumvudza contest, with his prize being a solar-powered borehole and irrigation system.
This installation has enabled Dzenzi to practice year-round farming on his land in Chapwanya Village. He now cultivates various crops, including tomatoes and maize, which he supplies to markets in Harare. The reliable water source proved vital during a recent severe drought, supporting both his family and the wider community.
Valley Seeds representatives stated that supporting dedicated farmers aligns with their goal of enhancing national food security. An Agritex officer working with Dzenzi confirmed that the irrigation system has boosted his productivity and allowed him to create employment for local villagers.
