Recommendations

  • Zimbabwe should increase public expenditure in agriculture to meet the CAADP Malabo target of 10%, enhance access to agriculture inputs and technologies (such as investments in irrigation for smallholder farmers), and increase areas under irrigation.
  • The country should invest in nutrition interventions to reduce undernourishment and the prevalence of stunting among children under 5 years old.
  • The country should put in place policies that would facilitate and promote intra-regional African trade in agricultural commodities and services.
