Close to half a billion dollars has been secured for the 2018/2019 summer cropping season, as Government works towards food security and ensuring that the country's agro-based economy gets back on the rails.

The funding, which will be availed under the Presidential Inputs Support Scheme, is 16-fold the $30 million used last season.

Addressing multitudes of Zanu-PF supporters at Pfupajena Stadium in Chegutu on Friday, President Mnangagwa said Government is already in the process of modernising the agricultural sector.
