The economy of Zimbabwe has faced significant challenges over the years, including hyperinflation and political instability. Agriculture, particularly tobacco and maize, plays a crucial role in the economy, providing employment and export revenue. However, land reform policies in the early 2000s disrupted commercial farming, leading to decreased production. In recent years, the government has sought to stabilize the economy through various reforms and partnerships. The mining sector, especially platinum and gold, has become increasingly important, contributing to foreign exchange earnings. Despite these efforts, high unemployment and poverty rates remain pressing issues for the nation.
