3. HON CHINYADZA HON MUSHONGA

ALSO AWARE that of the 350 000 tonnes of wheat needed to meet national consumption, no more than 100 000 tonnes can be provided from domestic production and imports;
COGNISANT of the fact that the national annual demand for soyabeans is about 240 000 tonnes with only 60 000 tonnes available to meet this demand;
ACCEPTING that the total imports from the international Community in the current year will not exceed 400 000 tonnes of cereals and that the total national deficit of cereals and oil seeds will be over 800 000 tonnes;
NOTING that the above statistics infer that the nation faces hunger and starvation of endemic proportions;
CONCERNED by the persistent failure of the State institutions to distribute the little food available in a transparent and non-partisan manner;
