Permanent Secretary Prof. dr. O. Jiri has called for urgent retooling of Zimbabwe’s 14,000 agriculture ministry staff to adopt data-driven, AI-led farming amid shrinking drought cycles of 3–4 years. During a courtesy call by ESAMI Director General Prof. P. Kiuluku, he said new satellite and digital tools have exposed data gaps that hinder climate response. Jiri urged tailor-made training for Agricultural Business Advisory Officers and senior managers to supervise modern tech, handle global shocks, and meet youth food preferences.

Prof. Kiuluku reaffirmed ESAMI’s commitment to its member states and proposed strategic collaboration with the Ministry to strengthen institutional capacity, improve agribusiness management, and roll out targeted training for food security and rural modernization.@obertjiri

At @ManicaTeca we incubate business ideas. Very soon, we are launching a GRAND dairy plan to make ZW a net dairy exporter within five years. A bold start-up. Coming soon! @obertjiri @ZimGvt_NDS1 @ZADF_Official @nyashafreeman @ETimesZw @EquityAxis

@baba_nyenyedzi They should encourage local production where we have the capacity to produce efficiently, while accepting that some imports are necessary. The important thing is to have a deliberate plan to grow local industry, improve competitiveness, and steadily reduce dependence on imports.

The completed projects show Zimbabwe’s infrastructure buildout moving through energy, mining value addition and underserved communities, with power reliability now central to industrial performance.

Congrats South Africa: with citrus exports likely to be 5% higher than last year, SA officially surpasses Spain as the world's leading exporter of citrus fruit (oranges, lemons, etc). This was achieved through strategic reaching out to new markets in Middle East and Asia, conforming to their needs and import requirements, and targeted marketing campaigns.

@ZimbabweReview We commend the ongoing process of reducing Interest Rates, & with it, the cost of doing business. The PVT sector space must grow for prosperity to sink in Zim! @czionline @ManicaTeca @zitap24 @AtlasNetworker @ZNCCNational @ReserveBankZIM

RBZ Cuts Policy Rate as Inflation Stays Below 5%.

Key Highlights from the Monetary Policy Committee (15 June 2026):

-Bank Policy Rate reduced from 35% to 30%.
-Targeted Finance Facility rate cut from 20% to 15%.
-Annual inflation stood at 4.8% in May 2026, down from -4.4% in April and remaining below the 5% target.
-Economic growth forecast maintained at 5% for 2026.
-Foreign currency inflows rose 39.1% to US$8.3 billion by May 2026, up from US$6 billion a year earlier.
-ZiG reserves exceeded US$1.5 billion, equivalent to 1.5 months of import cover.
-ZiG exchange rate remained stable at ZiG25–27 per US$1.
-Statutory reserve requirements were maintained at 30% for demand deposits and 15% for savings and time deposits.

The RBZ said falling global oil prices, stronger foreign currency inflows, stable exchange rates and subdued inflation supported the decision to lower interest rates while maintaining overall monetary discipline.

World Bank Cuts Zimbabwe 2026 Growth Forecast to 4.6%.

The World Bank has lowered Zimbabwe’s 2026 economic growth forecast to 4.6%, down from the 5.0% projected in January, citing a slower growth outlook.

The June 2026 Global Economic Prospects report also projects growth to ease further to 4.2% in 2027, after an estimated 7.5% expansion in 2025.

Despite the downgrade, Zimbabwe is still expected to remain among the faster-growing economies in the region.

@obertjiri Yes indeed. We need to ensure farmers, especially rural farmers who stock 80%+ of our cattle herd begin to place 15% of their land to fodder. The Fire Act must work on those who start veld fires. We are coming with our Pvt Sector solutions! @nyashafreeman @ZADF_Official

[Obert Jiri @obertjiri]

The Feed & Fodder Strategic Framework aligns investment, policy & collaboration. A resilient feed system is the foundation of sustainable livestock production.
