Zimbabwe maize production up 58% but yields still too low

How do they even gather this data?

The report uses data from various sources. These include surveys from government departments such as Agritex, and from farmers’ associations. Some 58 000 farmers were interviewed. On maize, the report used data from the Zimbabwe National Geospatial and Space Agency (ZINGSA), which uses satellite data to measure the planted area.
