- Author Cathy Buckle writes: “The last date for planting winter wheat is around the 10th of May with the deadline being the 25th May. By the end of the first week of June 2013 only two thousand hectares of land had been planted to winter wheat this season. This is half the hectarage that was planted last year. Allowing a yield of three tonnes a hectare, Zimbabwe has only planted enough wheat to produce six thousand tonnes of grain this year. In a country that consumes 450,000 tonnes of wheat a year, we are set to produce enough wheat to last the country just one week.”
