Parliament Endorses ARDA Production Model, Calls for Increased Funding and Youth ParticipationThe Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Lands and Agriculture has commended the Agricultural and Rural Development Authority (ARDA)’s production models after witnessing what legislators described as impressive wheat production during a nationwide assessment of the country’s agricultural performance.
“If replicated across the country, such partnerships would strengthen Zimbabwe’s Strategic Grain Reserve, boost foreign currency earnings through agricultural exports and create employment opportunities, especially for young people.
How The ARDA Partnership Model WorksExplaining the production model, ARDA Operations Director for Commercial Production, Shingirai Jenah, said the initiative brings together large-scale farmers under a structured joint venture arrangement aimed at boosting national grain production.
Through this partnership, we are working collectively to increase grain production and contribute towards the country’s Strategic Grain Reserve,” he said.
The committee is also evaluating whether ARDA’s production models are making a meaningful contribution to the Government’s Strategic Grain Reserve requirements.
