On April 13, 2022, the Zimbabwe Farmers' Union (ZFU) launched its new (2022 to 2026) Strategic Plan.
The new Strategic Plan will contribute towards the achievement of the national goal of a middle-income country by 2030.
The vision of the Union has shifted from being inward looking to a sector wide approach. ZFU’s vision has shifted from "The leading farmer representative body in Zimbabwe" to "A Resilient, Commercialized, and Viable Agricultural Sector."
ZFU aims to contribute to the achievement of the National Development Strategy 1 (NDS1) objectives as well as the broader and universal Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by equipping members to be resilient to agricultural risks and to transition from subsistence to commercial farming while managing sustainable businesses.
Due to the shifting macroeconomic climate, which included inflation and a widening gap between the official exchange rate and the parallel foreign currency market rate, uncertainty and high risk in farming exacerbated by climate change, the 2018-2022 Strategic Plan had to be revisited before its full tenure.
