Zimbabwe’s Agricultural Marketing Authority (AMA) is negotiating with its Botswana counterpart to establish an export corridor that will see local horticultural players exporting their products more easily.
According to AMA chief executive officer Clever Isaya, modalities were already in place for local farmers to export their produce to Botswana: “We should take advantage of the fact that demand for local horticultural products is high in Botswana. Our objective is to grow trade between Botswana and Zimbabwe, and by engaging BAMB we have the right partner to achieve that.”
Isaya said modalities had been put in place for the signing of a memorandum of understanding with BAMB to allow the two authorities to work together and deepen co-operation. Zimbabwe’s exports to Botswana stood at US$36,08 million in 2021.
