- Agreements that were signed between the two countries are not just mere documents but attest to President Mnangagwa’s work ethic which he aptly summed up during the three-day State visit by his Belarusian counterpart Aleksandr Lukashenko.
The programme was launched at the Institution of Agricultural Engineering in Hatcliffe, Harare in the presence of visiting Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko.
Under Phase One of the Belarus mechanisation drive, Zimbabwe took delivery of 474 tractors, 60 combine harvesters, 210 planters and five lowbed trucks which have been distributed to farmers through the Land Bank and CBZ.
The programme is expected to drive the country’s food self-sufficiency in line with the Second Republic’s Vision 2030.
