The
objectives of this study were to develop and present a detailed
and clear picture of what small-to-medium agro-processing systems
require to effectively manufacture and market processed products;
and to review agro-processing service provision, research and extension
linkages in Zimbabwe. The study was carried out by Dr N. Mhazo (UZ),
Dr B. Mvumi (UZ), Mr R.M. Nazare (UZ), and Mr E. Nyakudya (UZ),
and executed through a desk review of literature focusing on commodity-specific
cases of agro-processing enterprises. Informal discussions with
key players in agro-processing were also conducted.
