The condition of crops and livestock has continued to deteriorate despite the recent rains received in most parts of the country.
Some areas such as Mashonaland East, West and Central have patches that have a good crop.
Zimbabwe Farmers Union director, Mr Paul Zakariya said development of crops mostly depended on moisture and in most areas evaporation had increased because of the high temperatures.
Mr Zakariya said any crop that is still below the knee height had low chances of maturing.
On livestock he said cattle had continued to die as a result of drought.
Division of Livestock Production and Development director, Mr Bothwell Makodza said the showers received recently in the drier parts of the country had improved water availability and pastures in some parts of Matebeleland.
