My name is Moses Kondowe. I am Zimbabwean and am a food security specialist working for SNV Netherlands Development Organization in Zimbabwe.



My first contribution addresses question 4.2: What are the current gaps in rural advisory services for smallholder farms? 



In Zimbabwe the following are the gaps;



1. Training of smallholder farmers in post-harvest handling and marketing of their agro produce.



2. Trainings on farming as a business (FAAB)



3. Trainings on safe use of pesticides



4. Training of smallholder farmer groups on value addition



5. Access to financial credit lines to support smallholder agricultural activities
