The Zimbabwe Agricultural Show, set to begin tomorrow, has seen a significant rise in exhibition space uptake, growing by 32% to 70,407.48 square metres from last year’s 53,300 square metres. This marks the 114th edition of the event.
The show has attracted over 500 exhibitors from 13 countries, up from six last year, with foreign participants hailing from the Southern African Development Community, Asia, and Eastern Europe.
Zimbabwe Agricultural Society (ZAS) CEO Dr. Andrew Matibiri announced that most exhibitors are already setting up at Exhibition Park in Harare. With the recent regional cholera outbreak contained, the event will proceed with a full program of business conferences and entertainment.
Running under the theme “Cultivating Prosperity: Growing Business. Innovating for Change. Nurturing Our Future,” the show will be officially opened on Tuesday by an invited Head of State, whose identity will be revealed soon. Last year’s event was officiated by President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
