Key Risk Factors Influencing Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Zimbabwe’s Agricultural Sector

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study explores the key risk factors influencing foreign direct investment (FDI) in Zimbabwe’s agricultural sector. As a fundamental component of Zimbabwe’s economy, agriculture encounters numerous challenges that restrict FDI inflows. The research examines ten critical factors: crop production, climate change, consumer prices, government efficiency, exchange rate fluctuations, fertilizer supply by type and nutrient content, land utilization, GDP deflators, and pesticide use. These elements are analyzed within broader themes, including land ownership and tenure security, political stability, economic volatility and currency issues, infrastructure limitations, legal and regulatory conditions, social and cultural dynamics, and environmental factors. By assessing how these risks either deter or attract FDI, the study offers valuable insights for policymakers, investors, and stakeholders to mitigate challenges and foster a conducive environment for sustainable investment in Zimbabwe’s agriculture.
