Zimbabwe farmers seek funds to cash in on China blueberry boom

Zimbabwe farmers are seeking funds to capitalize on a growing demand for blueberries in China. This boom is due in part to a phytosanitary agreement signed between Zimbabwe and China a year ago, which has allowed for the export of fresh produce. The scrapping of tariffs on imports from 53 African countries by China in May has also contributed to the increased demand. As a result, Zimbabwe's agricultural sector is expected to benefit from this new market opportunity.
