Miami butchery

Zimbabwe's economy has experienced some progress from a decade-long crisis, but it is an ambiguous picture of progress defined by repeated downgrades of future economic prospects. The fragile financial sector, wage pressures in the public sector and limited state revenue; the result of massive un- and underemployment; continues to create uncertainty about the Zimbabwean economy's sustainability. In addition, there is a rise in drought pandemic in Zimbabwe causing serious repercussions for the marginalized that are mainly the rural dwellers e.g smallholder farmers and upcoming entrepreneurs. Most of them can no longer grow cash crops like maize hence forced to find an alternative to earn a living .This has left them with no option but to venture into quick return businesses such as livestock and horticultural crop production. This limitation does not elude the increase in demand of meat and vegetables in the focus areas i.e Melrose and Hunters resettlement plots, Rutendo resettlement area and Kwekwe town at large. In addition to that, there is existence of poor linkages of these farmers to the market. Henceforth this brings to the synthesis Miami butchery and vegetables which aims to provide a market to the smallholder farmers and young entrepreneurs as well as affordable, good quality meat and vegetables to customers using all currencies allowed by the government (i.e. EcoCash, One-money, RTGS dollar, Rands and USD) as well as offering business plan training. If market linkages are improved, it will enhance the livelihoods of these farmers through increased sales and better profit margins. Besides market linkages, business plan training will improve the way farmers operate their enterprises taking note of the expenditure and revenue constructs to maximize available resources including water.
