THE Entrepreneurs Network Association of Zimbabwe (ENAZ) is set to host a ground-breaking symposium on April 11 in Harare.
It will bring together key stakeholders in agriculture, finance, and policy to drive Zimbabwe’s economic resurgence.
This high-level event will underscore the agricultural sector’s indispensable role in steering Zimbabwe toward its Vision 2030 goals, focusing on food security, investment opportunities and sustainable value addition.
With the country’s rich agricultural potential, and increasing global demand for high-quality produce, agriculture remains one of the most critical pillars for economic stability, job creation and industrial growth.
Agriculture is more than just a source of food, it is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s economy.
The sector contributes over 17% to the country’s GDP and employs nearly 70% 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 invigorate agricultural productivity, enhance mechanisation and promote sustainable farming practices.
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.
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 sector growth.
A thriving agricultural sector means more jobs, increased exports and strengthened rural economies, leading to national prosperity.
With initiatives like these, Zimbabwe’s agricultural industry is not just about feeding its people, it is about fuelling industrialisation, fostering trade and positioning the country as a competitive global agricultural hub. — Agency.
