During the first ever Moshupa Agricultural Show on Friday, Masisi argued that the use of new farming methods and mechanisms would enhance food production.  He called on the farmers to benchmark from other countries to improve their way of breeding livestock and crop production. “Gone are the days when we used to take agriculture as a part-time job, or shift to the older people.
