Robert Mellors

Robert Mellors OBE (b. 1954), is an expert in tropical agriculture.

He spent his childhood in Rampton, Nottinghamshire. He attended Retford Grammar School and Balliol College, Oxford, where he was awarded an MA in Agriculture. Upon graduation, he worked for Booker McConnell, then took an MSc in Tropical Agriculture at Reading University.

Since then, he has spent most of his working life in Africa, helping the governments of Zambia and principally Zimbabwe in the development of their agriculture, for which he was awarded an OBE in the New Year's Honours List of 1999. He owns a house in Harare, but because of recent difficulties in Zimbabwe, he now spends little time in that country. Instead he acts as a self-employed agricultural consultant to countries such as Sudan from his base in Nottingham.
