A Zimbabwean farmer has harvested a crop of potatoes with a bunch of fused ones which bare a strong resemblance to a penis.

The farmer, Mr. Moyo, said to be from the Matabeleland South area, is said to have been astonished at the sight of the potato.

Buyers are also said to have rejected the potato due to its strange shape.

According to reports:

The farmer said: “I grew potatoes on one acre and when it was harvest time, three quarters of my potatoes had a funny shape which looked like male private parts. Buyers are reluctant to purchase my potatoes and now I’m forced to mix then with other potatoes. I cannot sell them separately,” he said. Moyo revealed that he was even ashamed to take his potatoes to the market as he ends up being the joke of the day.

However, a local agronomist, Mr Lovemore Nyakazela, said there was nothing wrong with shapes of potatoes. “The funny shapes of potatoes are usually caused by the variety of the soil. If they are grown on very hard soil or rocky areas then they are likely to have those funny shapes,” he said.
