Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa has made headlines with his latest assertion of agricultural prowess, boasting about the potential of his Precabe Farm. During a visit to the farm on Thursday, Mnangagwa underscored his commitment to modern farming practices and his belief in their impact on food security.
“The 21st century is driven by technology to achieve maximum yields,” Mnangagwa declared. He emphasized the critical role that soil testing plays in applying the right fertilizers, which he views as essential for optimizing crop production.
Mnangagwa’s remarks were not merely theoretical; he highlighted the impressive output of Precabe Farm as a testament to his farming methods. According to him, “Precabe Farms’ average yield per season can feed the Mozambican capital, Maputo.” This claim underscores his confidence in the farm’s productivity and his broader vision of agricultural success.
By integrating modern technology and strategic soil management, Mnangagwa aims to position himself as a leading figure in contemporary agriculture, not just in Zimbabwe but across the region. His statements reflect a growing trend among leaders to champion agricultural innovation as a pathway to economic and food security.
