Export market for Maize in Zambia (12월, 2022)

A United Nations report has highlighted that the Russia-Ukraine conflict is causing more uncertainty for Zimbabwe's already shaky economy, which is already struggling due to the COVID-19 pandemic and reduced maize harvests. The conflict has led to increased food and fuel prices, disrupted trade, and fiscal tightening, exacerbating inequalities and governance issues in Zimbabwe. The country's economic vulnerability and heavy reliance on imports make it particularly susceptible to global shocks. The report suggests that Zimbabwe should focus on strengthening and stimulating local production to mitigate the impacts on its economy and population.
