Zim seeks to increase fruit and chilli exports to Singapore

ZIMBABWE is seeking to increase blueberry, avocado, chilli and citrus exports to Singapore to tap into its US$15 billion food market, as the country moves to diversify exports and strengthen trade relations with the tropical island.

The strategic move was unveiled during a market scan dissemination programme hosted by ZimTrade in Harare yesterday, where stakeholders from the two countries explored opportunities in agricultural trade.

Singapore, one of the world’s top trading nations, presents a significant market opportunity for Zimbabwe, as 90% of its food is imported due to limited agricultural land.
