In an interview at the Harare Agricultural Show, Chiwenga said the days for election campaigns were over and it was time to get down to business and deliver. He said he was going to work hard and ensure Command Agriculture continues to grow, so the nation would not only be food and nutrition secure, but would also export the produce to the whole of Africa.
Chiwenga, who was sworn in last Thursday, said he was geared to boost agricultural production by identifying virgin and open land that should be put under crop and fruit production.
He will ‘follow the footsteps of President Mnangagwa’, who first spearheaded the Command Agriculture programme.
"Zimbabwe will never be the same again. I told the people that the election is only held in one day, but for the rest of our life we should concentrate on production." And according to bulawayo24.com, Chiwenga stressed also the need for investment into agricultural research through the improvement of all research institutions.
