The land reform is irreversible, there is no shift in government policy when white farmers apply for land. They will be treated like every other Zimbabwean.

Land is available to every Zimbabwean who wants it.

The national crop assessment has not been done, so I cannot say anything about harvest expectations. In terms of government-to-farmer support, there were indeed many inadequacies, but why should farmers expect government to give them everything? We only provide to the needy, not everyone. They should learn to work hard on their own.

We will proceed with current land reform with or without sanctions, ... Let that position be known here and abroad and let the commercial farmers tell that to their constituency or constituencies overseas.

We are interested in what course of reform the government pursues, and we hope there will be continuity in taking steps to get the Russian economy stable and growing.

There has been a decline over the past four to five years because the weather has not been good to us.
