WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Zimbabwe: Food shortage looms
|
[I like the way they blame “bad harvests”… Do you think that when Whites farmed, that it always rained on time? Obviously not… yet… when Whites farmed… through the good and the bad years… there was always food… prior to all this Marxist communist Land Grab nonsense. Wait… we in South Africa will go through the same thing… just give the bloody ANC and South African Communist Party a chance… and we’ll be facing the same issue. Jan] A food shortage looms in the country following poor harvests recorded last year in the countrys breadbasket of Rift Valley Province. Millions of people face starvation over the next few months as the province will not be able to sell produce to other regions. Rift Valley Provincial Director of Agriculture John Meli said the maize harvest dropped from 15 million bags in 2003 to 12.7 million last year. Meli said the maize can feed only eight million people in the province. He said the beans harvest also fell by an almost similar percentage from 1.3 million bags in 2003 to 927,989 million last year. He said the famine situation would be worse than last year when thousands of families in parts of the country were forced to seek relief food. “People in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (Asals) have been on relief food since the start of last year. Now that the harvest is even lower, the situation is bound to worsen,” he predicted. Meli said there was, however, an increase in potato and wheat harvests in the region. Potatoes rose from 359,096 tonnes in 2003 to 470,263 tonnes this year. He said the wheat harvests were boosted by 30,000 bags from 3.7 million bags in 2003 to 3.73 million last year. Meli attributed the increase in wheat yield to better prices offered to farmers. He further blamed the dismal harvest on poor rainfall and changing weather patterns in the country over the last three years. He said parts of North Rift such as Trans Nzoia and Uasin Gishu, which are the main maize producing areas, did not get sufficient rains last year. He also attributed the poor harvest to the farmers lack of access to credit facilities, high input prices and poor infrastructure. Meli also advised farmers to buy inputs such as seeds, pesticides and fertilisers from reputable stockists to avoid counterfeit products. Source: The Standard |
