Zimbabwe blueberry exports: Growers complain of minimal government support

Zimbabwe’s blueberry exports are positioning the country as one of the leading growers in Africa, making over $100 million a year in export earnings. But more than 20 years after the land was repossessed, local black farmers have found it difficult to enter the intensive blueberry sector. There are only 22 blueberry farmers and a handful of indigenous farmers. The main barriers to entry include investing up to $80,000 to grow crops per hectare, as FRANCE 24’s Nyasha Chingoyo reports.
