This Trade Policy sets out the key principles and strategies to drive the economy towards export-orientation and international competitiveness, in order to transform Zimbabwe from being an exporter of primary commodities to an exporter of value added high quality processed goods and services. The policy will be implemented through strategic trade policy instruments, based on regional and multilateral trading arrangements, supported by an export development and promotion package, in particular for the major sectors of the economy namely agriculture, mining and manufacturing. Zimbabwe is calling for a Special Safeguard Mechanism (SSM) and designation of Special Products (SPs) for developing countries, with a view to promote food security, rural development and poverty alleviation as well as addressing import surges and price declines (5.3).
