Helping farmers in Zimbabwe grow food
EU and FAO to distribute seeds and fertilizers to 176 000 farmers
FAO has started a major operation in support of small scale farmers in Zimbabwe as part of its joint efforts with the European Union (EU) to fight hunger this year. The organization has procured 26 000 tons of seeds and fertilizers for distribution to 176 000 vulnerable farmers — representing between 10 to 15 percent of communal farmers in the country.
