Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, apricot production in Zimbabwe remained stable, fluctuating between 45 430 kg and 45 830 kg annually. The market volume closely followed domestic output, staying near 46 000 kg each year, with a notable increase to 46 905 kg in 2021 driven by a rise in imports to 1 325 kg.

This period of steady output coincided with broader economic shifts. In 2023, production saw a slight uptick to 45 830 kg amid currency fluctuations and policy uncertainties following the draft 2024 national budget, which led to rapid local currency depreciation and affected general market conditions.

In April 2024, authorities introduced the Zimbabwe Gold (ZWG) currency, a policy measure aimed at stabilizing the monetary system, reflecting ongoing efforts to shape the business environment for agricultural products including apricots.
