Zimbabwe Commercial Farmers Union (ZCFU) director Jeremiah Tevera, said surpassing the $143 million mark was achievable given the abundance of resources in the country as well as the industrious labour force.

The comments by Mr Tevera follow recent statements by Lands, Agriculture and Rural Resettlement Minister Perrance Shiri that the Government was extending Command Agriculture to the horticulture sector as a strategy to revive it with the aim of generating much needed foreign currency.

Minister Shiri said the Government next year expected the sector to breach the $143 million export earning mark attained during the 1999 to 2000 cropping season.
