The region is also subject fairly Nyazvidzi Viriri Clinic Clinic severe mid-season dry spells and therefore is marginal for maize, tobacco and cotton Nyazvidzi production, Wete Chikara St Andrews 4 Mission or for enterprises based on crop production alone. The farming systems, in conformity Firomumwe 32 16 Hospital with the natural conditioning factors, should therefore be based on both livestck Zvinavashe Madzimbashuro NYAZVIDZI Firomumwe Rural Health production (assisted by the production of fodder crops) and cash crops under good Centre ZVIPIRIPIRI Masasi management on soils of high available moisture potential. clinic Soti BUHERA Source Clinic Region IV - Semi-Extensive Farming : This region experiences fairly low total rainfall Soti Chirozva Tongogara Mutunduru Guchacha MUTSAGO (450-650mm) and is subject to periodic seasonal droughts and severe dry spells Source Musara Clinic during the rainy season.
