This would be great news, if true.

After a little digging I found out White farmers had their land seized under the last administration. The current leader said government is committed to work on a compensation plan for former land owners. A little bit of a free market goes a long ways.

So in other words they brought in private companies from the outside to manage their farms after the government stole the land from the very productive White farmers who previously made the country the breadbasket of Africa and allowed incompetent government flunkies to take over the land....flunkies, who promptly turned it from a bread basket to a basket case.

Is emphasis on “their”? and more of. One would expect that, food deficits and any remediation would be big news. The focus should be on where the rest of the worlds food comes from and how to help.

“...pushed some countries to focus on producing more of their own food.”

About time they did.

Funny. Over 40 years ago, before the communists took over Rhodesia, it was often referred to as the breadbasket of Africa.

Then came the purges of white farmers and their families and the starvation and, eventually, begging white farmers to return to teach Mugabe’s minions how to grow their own food.

“Bumper crop” indeed.

Used to work with a bunch of South Africans.

After being run out of the country by mugabe, the new leader of Zimbabwe has been asking the white, Rhodesian farmers to come back and work the land. That place, according to the SAs, is considered the bread basket of Africa.

Maybe the new guys plan is working.

Re: "largest wheat harvest ever"

Hard to believe - unless they have completely sold out to China.

100% of the non-Black farm owners have been expropriated by the Zimbabwe government.

A few years ago, Zimbabwe was one of poorest and most malnourished countries in Africa.

An area the size of my back yard would qualify as a bumper crop in Ximbabwe...
