Jeffryson Chitando|The government must do away with GMB producer price as it is undemocratic and against free market force trading.

The government- by setting producer prices -for maize it is assuming that all cereals are produced under the same economic environment.

Farmers have to consider the production costs such as irrigation equipment , chemicals and labour.

These costs vary from from region to region and from farm to farm.It must be upon the farmer to calculate the expenses -to determine the price of the maize.

The government wants to rob farmers by forcing them to sell maize to GMB.

The government must only control the selling of maize under command agriculture.

The Minister of Agriculture -Shiri must understand that some people were denied seed under command agriculture for political reasons and had to source seed from South Africa.

Seed shops during the planting period ran out of the inputs as the government forced them to cater for the controversial command agriculture programme.

Government has compromised the open market policy.

One wonders if Zimbabwe is open for business?
