Trade promotion and development agency ZimTrade has embarked on a nationwide exercise to engage small-holder farmers in a bid to equip them with necessary skills to produce quality agriculture produce for export. ZimTrade recently met with small-holder farmers from Gokwe and Nkayi for a sensitisation workshop where issues to do with beneficiation and value-addition were discussed.
Farmers who attended included flower and chili producers as well as mango growers who were equipped with value-addition skills. The workshop also focused on how farmers could meet food security standards, horticulture certification as well as requirements to break into the export market.
