Today, Africa Daily’s Mpho Lakaje talks to Zimbabwean blueberry farmer Stuart Torr. He and his brother studied in the UK, before returning to Africa to farm.

Their company is among those exporting blueberries to countries like the Netherlands, Spain, France, Germany, Singapore and Malaysia.

They operate in a sector that has seen significant growth in recent years. Fruit industry analysis group, East Fruit says Zimbabwe has been increasing its blueberry exports by 63%, annually.

So, what’s behind these developments? Mpho is also joined by Zimbabwean economist Prosper Chitambara.
