A symposium that will bring together key stakeholders in agriculture, finance and policy to drive Zimbabwe’s economic resurgence is set to be held by the Entrepreneurs Network Association of Zimbabwe (ENAZ) in the capital on April 11.
The event will highlight the agricultural sector’s role in steering Zimbabwe towards Vision 2030, focusing on food security, investment opportunities and value addition.
With the country’s agricultural potential and rising global demand for high-quality produce, agriculture remains one of the most critical pillars for economic stability, job creation and industrial growth.
Agriculture is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s economy, contributing over 17 percent to the country’s gross domestic product (GDP).
It employs nearly 70 percent of the population, particularly in rural areas.
Beyond primary production, agriculture feeds into agro-processing industries, export markets and financial services, making it a fundamental driver of economic diversification.
The ENAZ symposium is strategically aligned with the Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development’s agenda to grow agricultural productivity, enhance echanisation and promote sustainable farming practices.
Through targeted policies, Government incentives and private sector participation, agriculture is poised to become Zimbabwe’s launchpad for long-term economic resilience.
ENAZ director Ms Tsitsi Linda Mutemaringa said the symposium will position Zimbabwe as a prime destination for agricultural investment while reinforcing the Government’s commitment to facilitating private sector engagement in agribusiness.
“We aim to showcase agriculture as a viable, high-yield investment opportunity while fostering dialogue on modern agricultural trends, financing solutions, and technology-driven farming innovations,” she said.
Over 300 people — including investors, agribusiness leaders, policymakers and international trade representatives — are expected at the symposium, which will serve as a dynamic platform for knowledge exchange and strategic networking.
Speakers will include top industry experts, Government officials and business leaders who will provide insights into the future of agriculture, its environmental impact and the role of policy in shaping the sector growth.
