President Mnangagwa has arrived at the venue of ZimTrade’s annual Exporters Conference and Awards here in Bulawayo to preside other the strategic engagement.
He is accompanied by several Government ministers, officials and ZimTrade executives.
This year’s edition is running under the theme, “Rooted Locally, Growing Globally,” as the national trade development and promotion agency intensifies efforts to expand Zimbabwe’s export footprint and enhance the competitiveness of locally produced goods on the international market.
The conference provides a platform for networking, learning and recognition of opportunities designed to enhance profitability and resilience within Zimbabwe’s export sector.
The conference comes at a time when the country is scaling up initiatives aimed at boosting export earnings, diversifying markets and increasing value addition across key sectors of the economy.
Exporters have become a vital cog in the revival of the economy, contributing significantly to increased foreign currency inflows and improved reserves in Zimbabwe.
Through expanded production, value addition, and penetration of new markets, the export sector continues to anchor macro-economic stability and industrial development.
Deliberations from this year’s conference are expected to feed into ZimTrade’s ongoing efforts to strengthen Zimbabwe’s export capacity, broaden both product and market diversification, and improve the ease of doing export business.
With exports gaining momentum and global markets opening up under the Second Republic’s engagement and re-engagement thrust, today’s event is set to reaffirm Zimbabwe’s commitment to building a resilient, competitive and inclusive export-driven economy.
