African Nation Expects Bumper Harvest To Propel Economic Growth
A government official announced that economic growth in Zimbabwe could surpass expectations this year, adding that the country expects a bumper maize harvest.
The economy could grow 6%, higher than a previous forecast of 3.8%, due to a strong performance by the agriculture segment, Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube told an online briefing.
Due to favorable weather and rains, Zimbabwean officials announced earlier this week that it expected to harvest 58% more maize this year than in 2022.
The minister also said the government hoped to ease power shortages by improving electricity generation at the country’s power plants.
