Zimbabwe ordered U.N. crop assessors to stop their work last week, and forecast a bumper harvest, BBC said.
But the archbishop told the BBC’s Network Africa program that the government was «not telling the truth,» and much land lay unfarmed.
«So I fear, for instance in western Zimbabwe, many people will have enough food for three or four months, after which they will need food aid,» he said.
Zimbabwe has relied on food aid since it began controversial land reform seizures in 2000.
