A delegation of women-led enterprises in the essential oils and beauty sector from Zimbabwe, conducted a workshop and exhibition at the Embassy of the Republic of Zimbabwe in London as part of the SheTrades Commonwealth+ Programme, implemented by the International Trade Centre. The event formed part of a broader Zimbabwe–UK market engagement mission aimed at strengthening export readiness and connecting women entrepreneurs with international buyers, distributors, and industry stakeholders. The delegation was received by His Excellency, The Ambassador Col. (Rtd) C. M. Katsande who toured the exhibition of various traditional natural health and beauty products. In his welcome remarks, he highlighted that the United Kingdom remains a priority export market for Zimbabwe. The Mission’s engagements are underpinned by preferential market access frameworks, notably the Economic Partnership Agreement between Eastern and Southern African States and the UK (UK-ESA-EPA).
The engagement provided a platform for the entrepreneurs to showcase their natural essential oils and beauty products made from herbs such as the resurrection bush, exchange market insights, and explore opportunities for partnerships and market access within the United Kingdom.
