@basera_john two quick questions
1. Cotton farming season of 2019/2020 small scale farmers were paid in groceries and up to date the buyers still owe the farmers. What is the plan this farming season? We need to be serious with how we treat our farmers. #ZimAgricRising

2/ Farmers are the backbone of our agro-economy. There is a void left after our textile industry was messed up by cheap chinese clothing & mazitye. If ever we have to be serious about reviving this industry, the Ministry that sets up prices for cotton should show seriousness...
3/ & look after the farmer who grows cotton. Its unacceptable that @CottcoZim & other buyers alike, can expect free cotton lint as if its grown in the wilderness. Like all other crops, a competitive price should be set up & a budget to buy the cotton should be in place on time.
4/ The 85 rtgs a shame and an insult to both the farmer and a government that preaches economic growth. I believe those owed must be paid their dues and cotton farmers must be paid fairly for their sweat. Please treat farmers with dignity. #ZimAgricRising
