SEEDCO Zimbabwe (SeedCo) says it is engaging players in the sugar bean value chain to increase local production to $2,7 billion from $1,25 billion currently.
Farayi Zvavamwe, the seed company’s production manager, told The Financial Gazette that support for growers through the programme, in which SeedCo is partnering a number of non-governmental organisations, will include irrigation infrastructure and farm implements.
