Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the market volume for cauliflowers and broccoli in Zimbabwe expanded from 281 t to 293 t. This growth was supported by increasing health awareness among consumers, shifts in dietary patterns toward healthier foods, and urbanization coupled with retail growth, which improved access to fresh vegetables.

In 2021, the market size dropped to 273 t, a 6.8% decrease from the previous year. The market then stabilized around 273–275 t in 2022 and 2023, with marginal growth influenced by ongoing population growth and competition among retailers in urban centers.

By 2023, government initiatives to boost export markets through phytosanitary compliance and cooperative irrigation schemes provided support to the sector. Major companies including the Zimbabwe Agricultural Marketing Authority and Arda Holdings remained active in the broader fruits and vegetables market, contributing to innovation and geographic expansion.
