Stimulating indigenous agribusiness development in Zimbabwe : a concept paper
1997
E.T Acquah
This concept paper proposes (a) market-driven farm and off-farm entreprenerial options that could take advantage of Zimbabwe's Economic Structural Adjustment Programme (ESAP) achievements, thus leading to the creation of indigenous oriented economic growth, and (b) em-powerment of the small and medium scale private enterprises to create an enabling environment conducive for equitable growth of their businesses. This calls for direct interplay between donor assistance and the private sector (farmers, processors, traders) through intensive use of NGOs to enhance domestic capacity of farmer and business associations to solve their problems. In working towards effective and equitable economic growth, it is necessary to increase black ownership and investment at all levels of the economy. Given the major role of the agriculture sector of the economy, it is suggested that black empowerment in the agribusiness sector may be a logical starting point for the indigenization of the economy.
