The African armyworm is wreaking havoc on crops in Chiredzi, leaving communal farmers desperate for solutions. Despite promising rains in Masvingo Province, the prospects of a successful harvest are rapidly dwindling due to the armyworm’s destructive power.

Agritex has stepped in with promises of insecticides, but frustrated farmers accuse the government of inaction. “The government has failed us,” one angry farmer exclaimed. “They’re not doing enough to help. Our crops and livelihoods are at stake.”

Another farmer echoed these sentiments, stating, “We’ve reported the outbreak, but nothing’s been done. The armyworm is spreading fast, and time’s running out. The government must act now to save our crops.”

The community is gripped by fear and uncertainty as the situation worsens. While Agritex has offered support, farmers doubt the government’s ability to effectively address the crisis.

As farmers fight to save their crops, they urge the government to take immediate action and provide necessary support to prevent further devastation.

Effective management of the fall armyworm threat requires swift action, and farmers are counting on the government to deliver .
