The ADMA Agrishow is organised by the Agricultural Dealers and Manufacturers Association of Zimbabwe to highlight the benefits of mechanisation and modern farming practices.

Zimbabwe’s president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, was a guest of honour this year.

“We spoke with the president about the Case IH range of high horsepower tractors we had on offer at the show,” said Jason Smith, chief operating officer of Agricon, the Case IH distributors in Zimbabwe. “We discussed how Zimbabwe had developed from where the Puma 155 was considered the biggest tractor size on a farm to where this size of tractor is now your planting, spreading and spraying tractor.

“We also spoke about the increased interest in single pass cultivators, which require a higher horsepower.”
