The government has been very progressive as far as setting up
physical and intellectual structures as far as the issue of
agriculture is concerned. Farming with precision is one of the
topical issues as far as getting back the glory of the bread basket
of Africa to Zimbabwe.
In previous articles, the writer has explained attempts being
made to ensure accountability as far as the beneficiaries of the
land reform program. The government has come up with an annual
reviewing of the farming activities of the farmers which must be
reported by February every year. Interestingly farmers are also now
supposed to employ a farm manager at the farm which is a clear
human resource capital disruptive engagement by the government.
This article will however want to focus on the import Duty and
V.A.T exemption implication on agriculture equipment which has been
introduced by Government through ZIMRA.
