  • Is sunflower a good crop in Zimbabwe?
  • Zimbabwe has ideal climatic conditions for sunflower production and the crop is good for the drier parts of the country. It has immense benefits that arise from low input costs, short growing period and tolerance to dry conditions. However, there is a consensus on the need for improved higher-yielding varieties.
  • How does zimgold source soya beans & sunflower seeds?

Given the limited quantities in local production of oilseeds, edible-oil producers make use of import markets to source oilseeds.
