THE state trade development and promotion body, ZimTrade, says value added exports grew by 28 percent from US$221 million in 2020 to US$283 million in 2021 driven by, among other sectors, clothing and textile.
In an export report for the period between January to August 2021 produced by ZimTrade, total exports stood at US$3,75 billion, a 47 percent increase compared to US$2,54 billion recorded in the same period in 2020.
“The increase was spurred by a rise in exports from clothing and textile, building and construction material, household and electrical goods, as well as the arts and crafts sectors,” ZimTrade said in the report.
