Agricultural Mechanization in Zimbabwe

CONCLUSION To have sustainable mechanisation for small holders government policies should embrace small holder credit, support to extension services, agricultural mechanisation support services, training, agro- processing and value addition. • In as much as we would have mechanized the small holder farmer from tillage to harvesting but without mechanizing and training the farmer the processing and preservation/storage part we will have shortchanged the farmer. • To conclude I will quote the nations vision "a prosperous, diverse and competitive agriculture sector, ensuring food and nutrition security significantly contributing to national development", this is what we thrive for as technocrats in the mechanisation department.
