PREFACE Zimbabwe is endowed with a diverse and rich resource base with the potential to generate substantial export earnings for the country. The diversified manufacturing, agricultural, mining, tourism and other service sectors possess enough potential to give the country the necessary comparative and competitive advantage for sustained economic growth and development. His Excellency, R. G. Mugabe, President of the Republic of Zimbabwe The National Trade Policy (2012–2016) takes centre stage in the transformation of the productive sectors of the economy towards the production and export of high value-added products in order to realise the country’s full export potential. This Trade Policy document outlines the key principles and strategies that will guide Zimbabwe’s strategic integration into the global markets whilst ensuring the availability of high quality and affordable goods and services to Zimbabwean consumers. Our challenge as a country is to act with speed and unity of purpose to unlock and exploit the export potential and opportunities at our disposal in order to make trade perform as the engine for our economy’s growth and development. I urge all Zimbabweans and stakeholders, including Government departments, the business and labour sectors, and civil society, to share this vision of a Zimbabwe driven by robust exports of value-added products in order to achieve economic growth and sustainable development for our people.
