Terrence Mawawa|Commercial farmers and research experts in Chiredzi have vowed to resist attempts by the government to introduce a programme dubbed Command Sugarcane.

Commercial farmers in the Lowveld have described the scheme as totally useless arguing it will severely affect production.

“This is a direct attempt to politicise sugar production and we will not tolerate such disastrous manoeuvres,” said a Chiredzi based commercial farmer.

Sugarcane expert, Mutubani Nzima last week said the so called Command Sugarcane Scheme would grossly affect production of sugar in the country.

“The Command Sugarcane Scheme will spell disaster and production of sugar will be grossly affected,” said Nzima.
