Zimbabwe Suffers Worst Drought In 40 Years, Maize Yield Falls By 72%

Zimbabwe’s maize output from the 2023/24 summer cropping season will drop by almost three-quarters this year as the nation experiences its worst drought in 40 years.

According to the Government’s Second Round of Crops, Livestock and Fisheries Assessment report, maize output from the current season that ends 31 May 2024 is estimated at 634,699 tonnes, down 72% from last year.

The Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development, had previously forecasted 868 237 tonnes.

According to the report, of 60 rural districts, only Goromonzi and Makonde have grown enough food for 12 months. Reads the report:

Statistically, the season had the latest and driest start to a summer season in 40 years.

Zimbabwe, Malawi, and Zambia have all declared states of national disaster because of crop failures caused by a severe drought attributed to the El Niño weather phenomenon.

The prolonged dry spell in southern Africa also slashed South Africa’s maize crop by at least a fifth.

Zimbabwe consumes 2.2 million tonnes of maize annually, with 1.8 million tonnes used for food and 400,000 tonnes used for livestock feed.

The Grain Millers Association recently announced plans to import at least 1.4 million tonnes of maize by July to address the shortfall.

Hongu zvese izvo zve drought El nino tazviona, and it's jus something bound to happen 4 to five years on the trot unstoppable, Asi svanhu vanekakufunga tirikuitei to alleviate that unpredictable weather phenomenon, if we look at Egypt it's sandy, Desert but they are able to subdue such harsh condition, able to grow wheat abundantly to export excess, never did we here appealing for food aid like we incessantly do, WE go to Israel 🇮🇱, Syria 🇸🇾 They don't have good soils and worse water but they out class us to grow crops, they do not have rains but desert soils chete, So in a nutshell what are we Zimbos like honestly, Begging bowls uncontrollably, we know a lot that drip irrigation works wonders so is pfumnvudza but it's that wearing that takes us this far to live begging Why don't we kick out criticising and politics and work on this productive land make use of it to its limit I'm very sure we won't be beggers, Hardly do we hear South Africa, Botswana willowing in abject famine like we do Mi godi irikucherwa zuva iritii ma solar hobo majojo azere kungoitawo network yemadiridziro chete chete a green belt can be observed from this Zvakare Ana sadza ava vatondinya zvekudaro havadi fortified enough to give better nutrients it's just pit in the tummy no difference nekudya dhaga, If we become content, wheat makes bread cereals etc and is widely consumed world over cause it's just growing grass chete ndiko kune healthy food uko that's what I see as, we need to shift things a little to adopt this ever changing climate
