| Abstract |
This report describes the state of commercial agriculture in Zimbabwe as it stands in February, 2003. The report is divided into three parts and covers issues concerning land (Part A), commercial farm output (Part B), and production viability (Part C). Despite Government claims, the land acquisition exercise is not over: as of February, 2003, listings of properties for acquisition by the Government are still on-going and implemented in a lawless and disorderly manner, with illegal occupations, interruptions to production operations, theft of moveable property, and human rights violations continuing. Current land policies, combined with the lack of security and a collateral base for credit, have had a devastating effect on the production of virtually all commodities by all farmers. The few commercial farmers still on their properties are farming under extremely adverse economic conditions and financial viability is difficult to maintain in this continuing hostile environment.
