Zimbabwe must adopt smart farming to survive climate change impacts, according to the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries. The industrial group says climate protection has become essential rather than optional for the country's agricultural sector. Renewable energy investments are now vital for driving farm production forward.
Agriculture forms Zimbabwe's economic backbone and employs most citizens. The sector generates major export revenue, especially from tobacco sales that bring over one billion dollars each year. Poor crop yields have long troubled farmers and led to higher food prices across the nation.
The Agricultural Dealers and Manufacturers Association held its 2025 show from June 5 to 7 in Harare. Many companies displayed...
