Meanwhile, Prof Ncube, who was in Bulawayo at the weekend, met with former white commercial farmers at a local venue to share insights on Government's plan to compensate them for the improvements that were made in farms prior to the Land Reform Programme.
Government resolved to compensate white farmers for the developments they made on the farms following the fast-track Land Reform Programme, which was done in the early 2000s.
Government has set a US$3,5 billion budget to compensate former white farmers for the improvement made on the land.
The Treasury confirmed the meeting through a statement posted on its official social media platform, Twitter, on Sunday morning.
"Finance Minister engaged white commercial farmers in Bulawayo as Government steps up efforts to clear arrears, resolve its debt and agree on a compensation plan for farm improvements as part of the ongoing efforts to re-engage the international community and revive the economy," reads the statement.
Economic analysts have said the country's debt cancellation strategy was important as it would unlock potential investment to growth in the economy.
