Declare Farming Season A National Disaster - ZAPU

Declare Farming Season A National Disaster - ZAPU

The opposition ZAPU party has urged the government to declare the 2023/2024 farming season a national disaster due to the severe drought prevailing across the whole country.

ZAPU National Organiser, Ndodana Moyo, told CITE that thousands of farmers have already lost their crops and livestock, adding that declaring the drought a national disaster will ensure that people receive aid on time. Said Moyo:

I have been travelling to many rural areas and see that many families if not thousands, have lost their crops to the heat and lack of rain, not to mention the effect of drought on livestock as well. This means more people will face starvation.

I, therefore, implore the Government to declare this farming season a national disaster so that people receive the necessary interventions and aid on time.
If there is no or little rain, it’s obvious people will lose their crops, vegetables, and livestock.

This is why, as ZAPU, we are saying the farming season should be declared a national disaster because it’s affected by drought.

ZAPU’s call comes after the President of Zambia, Hakainde Hichilema, declared the ongoing drought in that country a national disaster and emergency.

Hichilema said Zambia had gone without rain for five weeks at a time when farmers needed it the most.

Meanwhile, in Zimbabwe, some areas last received effective rainfall in the second week of January.

to all farmers who utilized the first rains, they are home and dry, but to those who planted late its a disaster. dry planting was encouraged by gvt but as always we hesitate to start ploughing in time. procrastination is the thief of time. zapu, instead of rushing for handouts, should be more responsible by engaging farmers and teach them better farming methods. in that way they will be real participants in the development of the nation than being frontrunner to food handouts. had zapu taken heed of Elnino and spearheaded the small grains plantation today zapu would be smiling!!!!!

To some extent we agree with you jah,,but do you know why most people did utilize first rains,,it was because of the misleading advise from the zanu pf controlled Met department. This what they told Farmer """"""""Many parts of the country have received substantial rains this week. The Meteorological Services Department advises that this is not the start of the rainy season. We advise farmers to use these rains to speed up land preparation (holing for Pfumvudza / Intwasa and accelerating tillage for those practicing conventional farming). Farmers are discouraged from planting unless they have adequate irrigation. We expect the weather to clear soon so wheat farmers may expect a better assessment of the crop. Unless a farmer has access to drying facilities, no harvesting is advisable until the moisture content is in the acceptable range.Many parts of the country have received substantial rains this week.
