THERE are expectations the 2020/2021 summer cropping season would be one of the most productive seasons post-land reform, as the Government prepares to undertake a national crop and livestock assessment.
The exercise, set to begin this week, is expected to take “three or so weeks”.
Usually, the national crop and livestock survey begins mid to end of January every year.
Lands, Agriculture, Water and Rural Resettlement Permanent Secretary Dr John Basera said they were finalising preparations for the programme.
“We are working on starting the programme soon. Perhaps we will be able to start next (this) week. I will have a clearer position on Monday,” he said.
