Govt breathes life into cotton industry
When cotton — Zimbabwe’s white gold — production declined in major growing areas in the country over the past few decades, so did processors, cooperatives alongside other key value chain actors who had kept the wheels of the cotton industry turning. All this rendered farmers destitute and brought economic activity at small towns and rural business centres to a halt.
