Farmers Economic Growth Trust is a farmer organisation registered as a trust focusing purely on the commercialisation of the Zimbabwean goat. Its main goal to 2020 is to increase the breeding goat stock to commercial levels. Commercialisation is a sophisticated process that require the drivers of the vision to refrain from politics of any kind or else they will lose the trajectory. Commercialisation requires identifying commercialisable farmers first. Farmers not too deep in the dependence syndrome.

  Farmer: Oh Lord open my eyes to see it’s a new season By Dr. Aaron Shamu. One thing that doesn’t stop moving is time. I remember a friend of mine who decided to do a master’s degree ,another said I will do next year . Now the other has a master’s degree while one is still yet to start .

Get tired of just talking, act today . You are a farmer because you got a piece of land. Use it . Do something on it today When the bible say, “so that I can see”, its more than physical blindness, some...
