Government Owes Pfumvudza Scheme Inputs Suppliers Over US$300 Million

Government Owes Pfumvudza Scheme Inputs Suppliers Over US$300 Million

A shortage of funds has caused delays in the importation and delivery of agricultural inputs to subsistence farmers participating in the Pfumvudza/Intwasa scheme.

During oral testimony in Parliament on Monday, Obert Jiri, the Minister of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water, and Rural Development, revealed that the government owes contractors over US$300 million for the 2020-2021, 2021-2022, and 2022-2023 seasons, as well as for ongoing projects.

Jiri said that transporters responsible for delivering food aid to villagers also handle the transportation of agricultural inputs.

If these transporters are not paid, they lack the resources necessary to continue their work. Said Jiri (via NewZimbabwe.com):

We have out there 50% of our seed, and 49% of our compound D and C fertilizers in stock. The seeds, we have all of it except some imported traditional grains.

The main challenge on the Pfumvudza scheme is certainly the financing of this. Our contractors are owed more than US$300 million for the 2020-2021 season, 2021-2022 season, 2022-2023 season, and to date.

So the delay in the movement of inputs is really because of the legacy debt which I know that after the SADC conference funds are now turned to supporting agriculture so that we prepare for the season.

It has been happening slowly, we haven’t been able to move about 50 per cent of the fertiliser which is the major input, we think that we should be done if resources are availed today we should be done by mid-November, and we should be able to move all the inputs.

The Pfumvudza programme is a government-initiated agricultural scheme that supports vulnerable farmers with seeds and fertilizers to cultivate crops like maize, sunflower, small grains, and soya beans on small plots of land.

It focuses on promoting conservation agriculture practices to improve food security and ensure sustainable farming.

The gvt is collecting taxes, exorbitant taxes, but for 3 seasons stretching from 2021 it is not paying suppliers of pfumvudza inputs. Infrastucture i.e border posts, road , airports are being constructed on a BOT arrangement, meaning gvt is spending nothing. So where is all the money going. I only know of Chivhayo who was paid millions fraudulenlty inflated by almost 200%.

All the money that they have for supporting the ZIG is actually owed to seed and fertilizer suppliers. The ZIG is dead. RIP the irrelevant ZIG.
