Green Afrique Technologies is a Zimbabwean horticultural company that has made significant forays into the European markets. Last week, it signed a deal to export granadillas to Dubai.
Under the deal, produce from the Bulawayo-based firm’s farms would be channeled into the Middle East trading hub through Farmgate World, the formerly Zimbabwe Stock Exchange-listed horticultural giant, Interfresh.
Green Afrique chief executive officer Anglistone Sibanda stated that the deal gave his firm scope to concentrate on production, with Farmgate handling and distributing granadilla into one of the world’s biggest markets. He said the Middle East transaction would give impetus to the firm’s ambition to generate foreign currency for the economy, riding on better deals being offered in that market.
