Zimbabwe’s blueberry exports: Growers complain of minimal govt support


3.1.2025

Zimbabwe’s
blueberry
exports
are
positioning
the
country
as
one
of
the
top
growers
in
Africa,
making
over
$100
million
annually
in
export
revenue.


But
over
20
years
after
repossessing
land,
local
Black
farmers
have
found
it
tough
to
enter
the
capital
intensive
blueberries
sector.
There
are
only
22
farmers
growing
blueberries
and
a
handful
indigenous
farmers.
Major
barriers
to
entry
include
investment
of
up
to
$80
000
to
grow
the
crop
per
hectare
as
FRANCE
24’s

Chingoyo
reports.
