ZIMBABWE yesterday signed the Sadc seed charter that will govern the cooperation of member states in seed certification and quality assurance.
Speaking to the media in Harare, Agriculture minister Anxious Masuka said the move was significant to Zimbabwe as it was coming ahead of the 44th Sadc Heads of State and Government Summit next month when the country will assume chairmanship of the regional body.
“The harmonisation of trade within the Sadc region fits well with Sadc’s industrialisation policy because most of the countries in the region are agro-based in terms of activity…” he said.
