Starting in 2015, the Government of Zimbabwe started to place additional emphasis on the importance of agriculture, especially through its fiscal and quasi-fiscal activities under Command Agriculture. This commitment to agriculture is bolstered by the medium-term Transition and Stabilization Plan (TSP) and the Vision 2030 long-term development strategy, which aim to transform Zimbabwe into a middle-class economy. Sector specific programs such as the Horticulture Recovery Growth Plan are contributing to creating a more enabling investment environment.
