STAFF WRITER

Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi is expected to officially open the 114th edition of the Zimbabwe Agricultural Show (ZAS) on Tuesday.

This is a departure from the usual official openings that  over the years took place on Fridays.

ZAS begins in Harare today ending on Saturday, with all 76 000 square metres of space taken up by over 560 exhibitors coming from different sectors of the economy, according to ZAS CEO, Dr Andrew Matibiri.

He said 12 international exhibitors from countries such as Russia, India, South Africa, Zambia, Pakistan, Eswatini, Japan, Mozambique, China, Malawi and Tanzania have confirmed their participation, up from five last year.

“The increase in the number of exhibitors is due to perceived benefits of exhibitions of goods and services.

“In addition, ZAS then creates more space to accommodate the exhibitors,” said Dr Matibiri.
