Zimbabwe positioned bananas from the Burma Valley as a key export to South Africa as it targeted a US$2 billion horticulture industry by 2030. Government officials said the banana value chain aligned with recovery policies aimed at expanding production, improving yields, and supporting out-growers. Matanuska, a major producer, exported about 60% of its bananas to South Africa, benefiting from strong regional demand.
