Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi will officially open the 114th Zimbabwe Agricultural Show (ZAS) in Harare on Tuesday, August 27.
The week-long event kicked off on Monday, with hundreds of people, including children, visiting the exhibition stands and participating in the various activities on offer.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade acting chief director for protocol and conference services Livit Mugejo said:
The Zimbabwe Agricultural Show will be officially opened by His Excellency, President Filipe Nyusi, of Mozambique.
President Nyusi is expected in the country to officially open the Zimbabwe Agricultural Show on August 27, 2024.
It is not a State visit, but a working visit. He is coming solely for the official opening of the 114th edition of the Zimbabwe Agricultural Show.
Foreign exhibitors from India, South Africa, Zambia, Pakistan, Eswatini, Japan, Russia, Mozambique, China, Malawi and Tanzania are participating in the Zimbabwe Agricultural Show (ZAS).
As of last week, the event has attracted 430 exhibitors, compared to 410 exhibitors at the previous year’s show.
Speaking to The Herald, Elizabeth Nkhwazi, the managing director of a Malawian company, expressed her anticipation of securing more deals for the goods her company supplies at the event. She said:
We chose to come to exhibit in Zimbabwe because we are in agribusiness and this is an agriculture show and it’s within our region, the SADC region.
We have exhibited at ZAS before and we have made a few deals and we are anticipating that this year we will make more deals for the goods that we supply.
We have the Kilombero rice, corn and nuts. We are also dealing in beans. We have honey. As you can see we have various products made in Malawi, produced in Malawi, and so we are trying to
find more markets, we are trying to expand our market reach.
This is actually our third year. So, it must be a very good time. Yes, we have had and seen some benefits coming, that is why we keep on attending.
The show is running under the theme: “Cultivating prosperity. Growing business. Innovating for change. Nurturing our future.”
