Paper 2 · Farming Systems
The Third Chimurenga is important to agriculture in Zimbabwe chiefly because it
Abrought in the first hybrid maize varieties grown in the country
Bset aside the drier natural regions for wildlife rather than crops
Copened up arable land to the majority of the farming population
Draised the price paid for maize delivered to the marketing depot
Explanation: The Third Chimurenga was the land reform programme, so its agricultural importance is the redistribution of arable land to indigenous farmers, along with the resettlement, new production and employment that followed. Seed varieties and producer prices are set by other parts of the industry.
