"Before you blame the weather for this, or accept Mugabe facile explanations in Rome, we have full dams, no water shortages, plenty of grass in most areas, rivers are still running and if our farms were working, the capacity to feed ourselves from irrigated land alone, if this was required. In fact all the crops that were grown under normal conditions - tobacco, soybeans and cotton are all yielding between 70 and 90 per cent of their potential. This is not a repeat of 1992 in any way and attempts to draw parallels do not do justice to the situation."
