Agriculture in Zimbabwe: Analysis of major crops and cereals with consumption an ...
Agriculture is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s economy inasmuch as Zimbabweans remain largely a rural people who derive their livelihood from agriculture and other related rural economic activities. It provides employment and income for 60-70 percent of the population, supplies 60 percent of the raw materials required by the industrial sector and contributes 40 percent of total export earnings.
Despite the high level of employment in the sector, it directly contributes only 15-19 percent to annual GDP, depending on the rainfall pattern (Government of Zimbabwe, 1995), and this is a statistic that understates the true importance and dominance of the agricultural industry. It is generally accepted that when agriculture performs poorly, the rest of the economy suffers.
Three main policy frameworks have affected the performance of agriculture in Zimbabwe in the past two decades. First, there was the €œgrowth with equity programme€Â pursued by the government between 1980 and 1990. It sought to redress the colonial legacy in favour of communal farmers. Second, there was the €œstructural adjustment market-oriented reforms€Â, the Economic Structural Adjustment Program (ESAP), adopted in 1991.
Finally, with more profound implications for the sector, there was the programme of €œfast-track land resettlement and redistribution€Â started in 2000 and currently in progress.
