Season Outlook 2026/27

El Niño Warning: Plan for a Dry, Hot Season

Seasonal outlooks point to El Niño conditions for the 2026/27 summer season. El Niño years typically bring below-normal, erratic rainfall, longer dry spells and higher temperatures to much of Zimbabwe. That changes how weeds, pests and diseases behave, and how well your crop protection products work.

  • High Pre-emergence herbicides may not activate
  • High Fall armyworm and stalk borer surge
  • High Aphids, thrips, whitefly and red spider mite

Farmer First

Why Choose Us

At Optimum Agro we pride ourselves on our “Farmer First” approach to business. This concept was launched in January 2022 and focuses on 3 key areas of interaction. Service, Quality and Price. We felt farmers were being charged excessive prices for product but were then not receiving the level of service expected. We at Optimum Agro are doing our best to change this approach. We believe we have good quality products at affordable prices coupled with an unmatched level of service.

    Fall armyworm came in hard after the first rains. Marcus walked the field with us and we had HTease on within two days. We saved the crop.

    Same active ingredients we were buying elsewhere, at a better price, and the agronomist actually answers on WhatsApp on a Sunday.

    Blight pressure was terrible in our irrigated tomatoes. The spray programme they set up with Range and Aegis kept the plants clean to the last pick.

    Nutsedge was taking over two of our lands. Halosulfuron cleaned it up and the team showed us how to calibrate the boom properly.

    We farm a small plot, but they treat us like a big customer. Clear advice on rates and the label explained in Shona.
