#Zimbabwe #Ukraine #wheat
Good for Zimbabwe! It’s high time to finally get good news.
GREAT NEWS
My thoughts exactly 👍
That’s not the only grain the Africa knows there are more ancient grains than wheat 😄
@@sealie15 true like Millet and sorghum🤩
There's always good news, it just depends on where you get your news from, the western news will usually be anti African and five you bad news only
Good for Zimbabwe! Being self-sufficient in food production, water, and energy is a good goal for every country. I wish them the best.
You can say that
Well done Zimbabwe!
What a turnaround for Zimbabwe, I hope the same can happen for countries like Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Haiti and Venezuela. As an Indian I want everyone to succeed.
You are rare. 👏🏽
Indeed. Having done some research into various problems of Zimbabwe in the past myself, I have to admit that I am truely impressed. Zimbabwe deserves its 5 minutes of steady growth and maybe even increase in its position on a gloabl market or at least on a regional, internal African market. As European, I want increase in quality of life for all regions of the world. I am aware of importance of such good news for entire Africa but also for India and other regions of the world since current situation between Russia and Ukraine has resulted in huge hunger issue on a global scale and this is why all regions of the world shall not stop insisting on both sides of this conflict to come to a diplomatic and stable resolution as fast as possible and in the meantime all regions of the world have to try hard as Zimbabwe to increase their local farming crops, if only possible and to try to establish new networks in food production and distribution, as far as possible.
This is good move for Zimbabwe
Don't worry, those nations u mentioned above were secured under Chinese now.
@New Moon good to hear that, as I'm happy for them. As for India even though they export $40 billion of food annually ad are one of the largest producers of cereals, cotton, tea and fruits and vegetables, I do agree with you that India needs to modernize its farming practices. We need more technology, automation and farm mechanization in our farms to increase the yield.
Congratulations Zimbabwe. Positive news. Let's hope this lasts. Food secutity is the most important first step to true independance.
God Bless this achievement with many more
so proud of this story! thanks for covering it.
Wow am proud you guys Zimbabwe I love you guys🇿🇼
Very nice. Zimbabwe has problems but it is such a beautiful country with great people.
Great job! Keep it up!!!
Great news for Zimbabwe, for the world.
Zimbabwe have some great potential in agriculture
Had this before the government took over in the 70s
They were producing more 50 years ago.
@@tomhenry897yeah, now the Africans are in charge, and rightly so. What happened to the myth that African people can't farm? We have plenty of African American successful farmers. Smh
@@tomhenry897 atleast they took over.... Zimbabwe could still be depending on whites to farm their own land & now Zimbabwe is food independent
Wow finally some good news ❤ It seems every time I watch something on DW it’s about chaos disaster, and war so THANK YOU.
Wow! Belarusian grain harvester from Gomselmash in Zimbabwe!!! It's a victory ✌️!!!
Good move Zimbabwe from Jamaica.
Self reliance toward basic essentials is pillar one to independence
Cheers from west Africa
🦅
Well done Zimbabwe, it's people,it's government and all your efforts not the nonsense we hear from CNN
Well done Zimbabwe. You have done a great thing. God bless you.
This is the AFRICA I want to see on the World stage. FOOD & TECHNOLOGY & RAW MATERIAL PROCESSING IN COUNTRY
This was Africa before the government took over in the 70s
Zimbabwe will never be the same again. It's a steady growth ✨️
For a few years, I worked as an engineer on a U.S. flagged ship carrying food aid to countries mostly in Africa, but I came to realize that the money would have been spent building up local agriculture instead. Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, but if you give him the fishing gear...... It is great to see African agriculture developing to the point that Africans can feed themselves and build a surplus to tide them over through drought conditions. Food security is the first step up the economic ladder toward a more prosperous future.
They fed and exported before the government took over in the 70s
15 % of the world food consumed comes from Africa , your food aid is another big business the west invented pre de colonization of Africa in particular for whatever reason.
@@patmugambo7929 stop acting funny,, Nigeria import wheat.
@@jesuslovesme5207 you are the one funny .is wheat a steple food in Nigeria ..people just read comment without understanding
@@patmugambo7929 oga, stop acting funny. Bread is a staple food in Nigeria, so is flour based foods like buns, chinchin, cake etc. Seems u don't know what wheat is.
Well done zimbabwe 🇿🇼 👏 👍
Go Zimbabwe you can do it !!! 💫⚡️👍🏽
Happy for Zimbabwe
As someone with a background in agriculture, peace and stability always follows the plow. Instead of funding politically motivated initiatives, focus on increasing sustainable production.
Ethiopia is going to start exporting too! Go Africa!
🤣🤣🤣Ethiopia 30 Million people are starving to death good leadership of War destruction
@@nuguskhalifa9365 We are finally breaking free of the government who starved the people, and used it’s people as a hostage. This is a new beginning, new eras and LOTS of opportunities to feed those people you are talking about and more to export and help our other African neighbors! The future is not only bright for Ethiopia but very near! Ethiopia will always prevail!
@@cu011810 don't come to Europe like Eritreans when the "breaking free" turns dictator 🤣🤣🤣👍
Under the leadership of Emmerson Mnangagwa Zimbabwe is on it's way to become an upper middle class economy
Nice to hear a good news from africa
World class - finally good news from Africa..
The only good news I have heard about Africa lately. God please help Zimbabweans sustain this effort
This should be a big turnaround for Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 👏 we thank God
The Creator bless Zimbabwe and Mama Africa 👏🏾💪🏾🙏🏽
Zimbabwe needs irrigation systems for farming in rural areas during the dry season and the rainy season
I love the names. Cloudy and Privilege.
My favorite… a national soccer team player called Typewriter
@@Wolf-hh4rv if the guy called Privilege came to a western university these days he’d be hearing his name constantly. Poor dude.
Those technical names are very popular in Zimbabwe and Zambia
@@eacoincmubiru5894 there is a bit of that in Southeast Asia and Oceania too. I’ve encountered people with such names who don’t realize their. name is an English word and not typically a name. A name is just a reference handle after all.
@@thesisLAx very confusing to those social justice warriors we’re all burdened with. As his plane hit the tarmac in Britain he immediately be fawned upon by white people apologising for being “privileged’ lol
Make more sense growing crops to feed your population, than growing cash crop such as tea flowers etc.
Best wishes to Zimbabwe!
Great job Zimbabwe
Thanks zimbabwe on the right path.well done
Wow! Equipment from Belarus, Gomselmash ! Respect!
I think Massey Ferguson is not a Belarusian. Which product you are mentioning?
thts British equipment, not that outdated Belarusian garbage
@@s_dharni2483 check the last shoot of the video. I can clearly can identify Belarusian harvester from Gomselmash, check the label!
@@Munyabrwn check 3:15 shoot of the video it's areal Gomselmash label on the front of the harvester. Ferguson is very expensive for African business. There are a lot of Chinese and Russian and Belarusian equipment had been exported to African continent last 10 years. Check for the new staff from the monopoly leader of the Russian grain harvester manufacturer's market Rostselmash. John Deere, Massy Ferguson, Class are not competitive accordingly the same part of the market, they are very expensive.
@@useRed_Red haha they have
So much big ego my friend will not accept what u saying
Not surprised, good for you Zimbabwe.
Great news. Keep on going.
This is not only good for the Robert Mugabe it is better for rest of the world as well 🎉 in this food crisis well done, Zimbabwe .
Mugabe is dead, and he was the one that caused the original economic crisis by kicking out all the white people
Good progress Zimbabwe well done guys Big Up
good move
Is a beautiful thing, a winning plan, investing in the agricultural production of staples needed by your own country. Even better if you produce a surplus. The formula should be applied where-ever it is appropriate. Animal, vegetable or mineral.
Well done Zimbabwe, South Africa should be taking notes
Positive news about Zim I love it!
Damn. Good news from Zimbabwe ? 😱
Zimbabwe's on the way back.
Mugabe's land reform must be working.Watching very closely from ZA
Did you watch the video? It seems not.
Great Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 was once the bread 🍞 basket of Africa 🌍 it needs to get back on track.
That is great news. Zimbabwe's agricultural sector was devastated when political powers started shifting ownership to their buddies.
Wow well-done Zimbabwe🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
Africa must come forward in agriculture especially wheat rice tea and Cereals, Enough of Asia's Dominance
Excatly
Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Nice, since Chinese invests so much in Africa, and teach the techniques. African people getting prosperous
Yessss, Zimbabwean no longer played around by America, Europe and US dollar
🙄
Bollocks. If you are so good at feeding your own people why are they all over the world trying to scrap together livings instead of nestling in fruitful mother China?
Hongera Zimbabwe.
Results of building an indegenous economy.
Irrigation is pivotal. Investment in the development of resilient strains and agricultural technology is very important.
Well done! Now if only South Africa could get its finger out.....
At last Zimbabwe is again a wheat exporting country! Great news…
Well done zim
Zimbabwe Zimbabwe Zimbabwe
Finally an African Country that can prove it can become independent. Thumbs Up Zimbabwe!
Yes my Great Zimbabwe will be Bread Basket of Africa again
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish he's fed for life. This is why food aid is harmful and self reliance is awesome. Nice job Zimbabwe 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Zimbabwe used to know how to fish.
Europe with the devalued euro, high inflation and low productivity: what is that?
True
M
lol
Because they are white and their IQ is decreasing.
Finally, some good news.
That’s some good news.
It is great to see Zimbabwe growing up^°🥰
Good news
More success to Zimbabwe. They are resilient people with a beautiful country
Super!!!! Ndizvozvo!
Nobody mentions that because of the increasing solar radiation, and the resultant heating and expelling of a small amount of the CO2 dissolved in the ocean, the slightly increased CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has had a significant - and increasing - boost on plant life, and crop yields, worldwide, because CO2 is the most powerful fertilizer known to man....
Very good
Hip Hip hip Hurrahhh! some good news, and from Africa to boot! Let us hope it is sustainable.
Wow🎉🎉🎉 grate job Ethiopia and Zimbabwe
Nice
Let's hope it keeps going.
Good 😊.
Africa should replace wheat cultures with millet, it is more adapted to their climate as it is resistant ti droughts and consume less water.
Africa should really try to diversify its local farming. And experiment with various things that work for African conditions best. Since yes, if a local climate allows for long vegetation period there is plenty of room for having strong and highly effective farming industry.
Millet is produced in huge quantities in west Africa. Wheat is not a staple food in Africa. I don’t know why news media always say Africans will starve because of wheat shortages.
Mugagbe policies weren’t so bad after all. Good job to Zimbabweans. You suffered sanctions from western powers but now they will beg to import wheat from Zimbabwe. Sell your wheat to fellow African countries not western countries that sanctioned you.
They are succeeding now because they abandoned mugabes policies Zimbabwe always had fertile soil for many crops only politicians interfering ruined that before
@@sirsurnamethefirstofhisnam7986 they haven't abandoned Mugabe's policies. Indigenisation is why there's a bumper harvest. They're reaping the benefits of Mugabe's sacrifices
True Mugabe did nothing wrong by taking those farms. Now indigenous people can harvest their own food.
@@sirsurnamethefirstofhisnam7986 It is Mugabe policies that are bearing fruit today.
At least some encouraging news from zim.
Its good they are becoming efficient, may the Lord Jesus Christ be with them.
ed has my vote.small ukrain
Remember a bumper harvests don’t be rookies
Still, there are more Zimbabweans in South Africa than in Zimbabwe itself! Hopefully that can change, if Zimbabwe gets it's act together.
don't be delusional
this is a shame on South African education, can you count...?
Zimbabawe has been through a lot. Such news prove that it is a very strong country, really determinded to improve its own fate. I believe Zimbabwe can do it. And as a female I am well-aware that females of Zimbabwe make great contribution to this success. So I wish the best of luck with moving forward. And they should not shy awya from seeking international and global support from other females. Especially from females working in farming industry or in organizations aiming at improving working conditions of females in such industry.
Stop lying. You seem to suffer big time.
South Africans are lazy... while other African children are at school studying hard ...south African kids are jst dancing to amapiano then in 10 yrs they will start killing foreigners blaming them for taking their jobs
thank you Belarus for supplying ZW with Combine Harvesters and tractors . The mechanisation made all the difference..
Well, in this sense Zimbabwe may try to collaborate not only with Belarus but also with other countries. But it's nice to know that Belarus is doing somehting like this there.
@@agatastaniak7459 Zimbabwe is open but the USA sanctions put off some would be investment partners they make the movement of money extremely difficult...
@@kossammusundire5194 Back when the country was Rhodesia, they didn't need handouts.
At last some good news. 👍
Bravo...
Hahaaaa Zim Zimbabwe go go go go go go
Is there financial situation any better
How Africa isnt completely food independent I'll never understand.
Europe also imports Ukrainian grain....no country is 100% self sufficient.... that's y there's trade
@@samanth. yes but Africa has the most fertile soil on the planet.
@@hithere8753 No it doesn't. It's like saying most of Asia and Europe soil is fertile.
Africa has diverse landscape.
@@anishapoorwakispotta7754 Its true that jungle soil has its challenges as well as the fluctuating rates of moisture but mechanization of farming would go a long way in addressing many of these issues.
Praise the Lord 🙏
Second harvest?
about time
ZIM 🇿🇼 IS SHOOTING UP LIKE A STUBBORN FLOWER OUT OF A CONCRETE SLAB..IN THE MIDST OF ECONOMIC CHALLENGES..AND NEGATIVES..
Awesome. Make that wheat!
Honest to God!! It's really a such great joy to hear some good news from Zimbabwe after almost 40 years of Mogabi's regime. I have no doubt if Mogabi was still around, we would NOT even dream to hear or watch this great news. Good riddance, Mogabi!! Zimbabwe is a much better place without him. Keep up the great work and we wish you all the best!! Cheers,
Rubbish its because of Mugabi programmes of education and self-reliance that Zimbabwe is now self-sufficient in food production and now they are developing a local oil industry.
good for Zimbabwe, I hope the money that is made goes back into the country, and not into some corrupt officials pocket as seems to be commonplace
How does this harvest compare to pre-Mugabe yields?
Good for ZANU-PF!
