Zimbabwean macadamia farmers have earned US$753,278 from the sale of 917,526 kilogrammes of nuts during the 2026 marketing season, according to the Agricultural Marketing Authority (AMA). The season began in March with the harvesting of early-maturing Integrifolia varieties, reports The Herald, a partner of TV BRICS.
The AMA market update report showed that growers supplied macadamia nuts to local buyers during the season. The authority reported that macadamia exports between January and May reached 1,501,140 kilogrammes, valued at US$1.42 million.
The sector is expected to gain further momentum as production conditions improve. According to experts, Zimbabwe’s macadamia harvest could increase by 20–40 per cent compared with the previous season, supported by favourable rainfall across key growing regions.
Macadamia cultivation remains an important part of Zimbabwe’s horticultural development, with increased yields expected to strengthen the sector’s contribution to agricultural growth.
Zimbabwe continues to expand cooperation in agricultural trade. Chinese Ambassador to Zimbabwe Zhou Ding said that China imported 5,000 tonnes of Zimbabwean macadamia nuts worth US$12 million in 2025, reflecting demand for the country’s agricultural products.

This moment is especially significant as India hosts the 18th BRICS Summit, following India’s assumption of the BRICS chairship under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The partnership directly embodies his call to elevate Indian design standards through 'Design in India, Design for the World'. Through the global reach and broadcast capabilities of TV BRICS, we are excited to showcase the extraordinary visual storytelling, films, and design research of NID’s Film and Video Communication students to an international audience, while also welcoming and screening film works from BRICS network countries at NID Ahmedabad.
