Zimbabwe started a new farm project that will help 71,000 small farming families. The project costs 66.5 million dollars and will run for eight years. Another 50,000 families will also benefit from the program. Officials met yesterday to launch the Horticulture Enterprise Enhancement Project. Leaders from different government offices and private companies attended the event.

The program will create 620 village business groups across four provinces. Farmers will learn new skills and receive money to help start their businesses. The project focuses on growing fruits and vegetables that people can sell at markets. Government workers say the program will help farmers make more money and eat better food. The project will also create jobs for people who do not farm.

Several groups are paying for the project together. The Zimbabwe government will spend 5.2 million dollars on the program. International development groups will provide most of the remaining money. Private companies and farmers will also contribute funds and services. The first part of the project will work in 20 districts across southern and eastern Zimbabwe.
