The Zimbabwean government is accelerating the distribution of free agricultural inputs under its Presidential Input Support Scheme. Officials stated that the expedited delivery of Pfumvudza/Intwasa program inputs is intended to help farmers utilize early seasonal rains for planting and boost national food security. Midlands Provincial Affairs Minister Owen Ncube emphasized that increasing crop yields is vital for transforming rural livelihoods.
Minister Ncube instructed distribution committees to ensure fair and equitable allocation of the inputs, with a specific directive to assist vulnerable households. He warned that any diversion or misuse of the inputs would be met with legal action. Farmers were also advised to prepare their fields promptly and to consider planting drought-tolerant small grains for better food and nutrition security.
