The firms are drawn from the agriculture industry, manufacturing, fresh produce units, finance and banking, construction, tourism, arts and craft, mining and ICT among others.

“Dubai is an important market to Zimbabwe and as such local companies are interested in securing market opportunities, identifying business partners as well as trade facilitation modalities,” he said.
He said “Opportunities are there in Dubai for Zimbabwean companies to explore. So, it is up to them on how they can forge ahead with relevant steps to further increase their market portfolio.”
