Zimbabwe to Equip Every Village With Tractors to Modernize Agriculture
Zimbabwe to Equip Every Village With Tractors to Modernize Agriculture
Under National Development Strategy 2, the government is launching a mechanization program to equip 35,000 villages with tractors.
The initiative aims to:
🟠modernize farming,
🟠improve food security,
🟠drive rural industrialization by replacing manual labor with mechanized solutions.
Central to this plan is the establishment of Village Business Units (VBUs). These hubs transition subsistence farming into commercial enterprises by providing solar-powered irrigation, horticulture gardens, aquaculture, and livestock infrastructure.
To support these units, small tractors tailored for village use will enable timely cultivation and land preparation. By operating as local business centers, VBUs allow villagers to collectively produce and market goods, creating jobs and boosting household incomes at the grassroots level.
