Zimbabwe & its plan for the AfCFTA: Here’s what we know…

Zimbabwe and its approach to the AfCFTA can be described, from the outside looking in, as, at best, tepid.

Beyond the ratification of the Africa Continental Free Trade Area Agreement, there has been little movement inside Zimbabwe to seize whatever opportunities the AfCFTA has to offer.

What can Zimbabwe offer right now and quickly?

At the recently concluded conference hosted by the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) on the country's AfCFTA participation, the following was revealed about what value proposition Zimbabwe could offer to the continental free trade area.

In the presentation by the Confederation of Zim Industries (CZI), the admission was made that there are too few low complexity, low ubiquity products that Zimbabwe can easily plug into the AfCFTA.
