Zimbabwe’s cannabis industry continues to grow with new markets demanding imports from the country.
Chief Executive Officer and founder of the Zimbabwe Industrial Hemp Trust, Dr Zorodzai Maroveke says international buyers have showed great interest in Zimbabwe’s industrial hemp which is expected to expand the country’s export earnings this year.
She said last year Zimbabwe exported about three tonnes of industrial hemp to Europe adding that production is expected to expand this year.
Industrial hemp is used as a raw material in the manufacturing of pharmaceutical drugs, textiles, edible oils and livestock feed among others.
