Diaspora Matters

Tomato production or Red Gold production as I like to call it is one of the most lucrative horticultural ventures that a small and upcoming farmer can venture into. Tomatoes fetch prices as high as 20 USD/crate at peak with the average small holder farmer delivering 100 to 800+ crates in a week that translates to reasonable income compared to all other horticultural crops.

1. Who can grow tomatoes?

Just like any other crop tomatoes are one of the most delicate crops that really require a lot of pampering and attention and therefore they require a dedicated individual in terms of time, skill, resources and passion once you have these you good to go.

2. How much skill do I need to grow tomatoes?

If you intend to grow tomatoes on a small or large scale one need to have a reasonable amount of skill and knowledge in order to run the venture as a profitable business. If you are to employ farm workers it is vital to employ workers who have experience growing tomatoes or better still have the workers trained before the season starts and at every vital growth stage of your crop by a professional Agronomist.

3. When is the best time to grow tomatoes

In Zimbabwe it is not recommended to grow this crop in frost prone areas as the plant is very susceptible to frost damage at times resulting in a100 % loss to the farmer. If you are in a frost prone areas it will be advisable to put up a green house to protect your crop or put up polythene barriers around your field in the direction of the prevailing wind, the latter will reduce the damage but not protect your crop. Most farmers in Zimbabwe are encouraged to plant their crop between August and January as most varieties will last between four and six months in the field being harvested again this depends on the area and variety. If your area is not prone to frost with proper planning you can harvest your crop well into winter June/July which is the time when some of the best prices are reached

4. Common challenges

Just like any other business you are bound to face certain challenges that are unique to tomatoes, Most common question is how do I control these bugs eating my tomatoes. Well, first one needs to be able to identify the pest as here are thousands of bugs that can attack your crop, which goes back to the issue of employing trained staff or receiving adequate training for yourself and your staff. Proper chemical handling , mixing and application is another challenge that farmers meet resulting in under application or over application of a chosen chemical resulting in chemical resistance by the pest emerging and poor yields.

5. Which varieties can I grow?

The variety of choice will depend upon a number of factors which include shelf life ,size, market preference etc. It is very important to ask before you purchase the seed about its qualities, disease resistance, pest resistance, shelf life etc. A good example is the Sakata Discol F1 variety it is a high yielding variety , with very big tomatoes with a good shelf life of up to 17 days post-harvest however this variety is prone to late and early blight as well as red spider mites which can adversely reduce the potential yield.

6. How much do I need to start up?

Careful planning is required when intending to grow tomatoes, How much one will need will depend on the proposed hecterage. It is important to note that with tomatoes you will have a waiting period of 4-6 months before harvest begins and during this time the crop will require a lot of prophylactic chemicals, fertilizers, and herbicides etc which are heavy on the pocket so before you put seed into the seed bed make sure you have the required financial resources. The upside of the story is that the returns in tomato production are tremendous for every dollar invested expect minimum 5 dollars in return.

We are living in a world where temperatures are rising, water shortages are more frequent, food supplies are increasingly scarce and the gap between rich and poor is increasing. Populations are growing fast, making basic hygiene and sanitation even more of a challenge.

We can overcome these challenges and build a bright future for everyone, if we work together. But to do this, the world needs a plan. These Awards recognise 18 to 35 year olds who are putting ideas into action.

Why are we doing all this? We see a big opportunity: to support, inspire, reward and collaborate with a new generation of the world’s most brilliant young changemakers; innovators who are the future of sustainability. Imagine what we can achieve together.

We are looking for innovative and scalable technologies or initiatives that are contributing to one or more of these four categories:

Farm to Table

In this category, we are looking for inspiring entrepreneurs who are working on sustainable initiatives relating to food and drink production right through to consumption.

We are looking for entrepreneurs who can demonstrate innovation that not only protects the planet’s natural resources, but will help to transform our food systems, offering a long-term approach that can create value and enhanced livelihoods for farmers, and ensure security of supply for the long-term. Entries should ensure issues such as deforestation and land use, alongside social and community issues are managed responsibly. You may be working with smallholder farmers to improve their environmental practices across their supply chain, or helping them with social programmes such as access to education, community empowerment initiatives or encouraging young people into agriculture.

However, it’s not all about sustainable agriculture – we also want to hear from entrepreneurs who are working in the area of food and drink consumption and nutrition. You may be working to inspire and inform people about sustainable nutrition or helping them to make better choices. Perhaps you are creating food and drink products that support the long-term health of people and the planet.

Opportunities for Women

We are seeking initiatives that help to tackle the discrimination and disadvantages millions of women face around the world. You might be working to help provide access to skills and training for women, and creating opportunities for women to actively, safely and fairly participate in the economy.

Alternatively, you might be working on a micro-enterprise initiative to help women on low-incomes escape poverty. From Australia to Zimbabwe, if you are creating opportunities for women somewhere in the world, we want to hear from you!

Waste

Are there entrepreneurs out there with ingenious initiatives that help to tackle waste – to reduce, reuse or recycle waste throughout the pre-production, production and consumption lifecycle? Initiatives should demonstrate a clear business (financial), consumer (benefit), social and environmental case.

We are looking for initiatives across the waste spectrum – not just initiatives tackling packaging waste. For example, you could be developing an ingenious solution to reduce or rethink the choice of materials in production phase, or running a project that helps improve the livelihoods of people who are working in waste collection, or working on a recycling incentive scheme that is set to revolutionise the way a country tackles their waste issue, or an idea to reuse waste materials.

If it’s about tackling waste of any sort, we want to hear from you!

Water

Are you working on an initiative that tackles water scarcity, or one that addresses water pollution or sanitation and hygiene issues?

We are looking for solutions that conserve or reduce the amount of water used across communities, or during the extraction or cultivation of raw materials or through manufacturing processes. Perhaps you have an initiative that is helping people and organisations better manage access to water and adopt tools and behaviours which help them use less in the home or in a business?

Individuals in the developing world can be healthier—and communities more productive—if they have access to clean water and better sanitation. We are also seeking entrepreneurs with initiatives that address how to improve hygiene practices in any country, or offer an innovation to improve access to sanitation in remote areas.

The last time ZBIN tackled investment opportunities in our neighboring country, we covered Tourism Sector Opportunities. Today in the spirit of Africa Day, we look closely at this fast rising Southern African country. We look closely at opportunities in the Poultry Sector. The opportunities are not for foreign nationals to come in and set up poultry farms but to look closely at the whole poultry value chain and analyse opportunities presented by the sector. Opportunities range from the provision of equipment such as hatcheries, poultry feed, poultry expertise and poultry vaccines.

We have put below a video which shows the opportunities from Beautiful Zambia.

The Zimbabwe Business Ideas and Network is the top African business forum with a strong presence in India. We have more than 200 members from India who are part of us, some are on our Whatsapp platforms and are always sharing business ideas from India and looking for business partners in Africa. We are slowly establishing ourselves as a business gateway to Africa from India!

So today is Africa Day and is a National Holiday for many African countries as we celebrate the formation of the African Union (AU). Inorder to promote business the 2 continents of Africa and India we have decided to bring you information of e-commerce opportunities in South Africa and this information is primarily targeted at Indian nationals. The information is just basic statistics but can guide you in your analysis of the needs and gaps in this sector that provide opportunities for investment.

Market Entry

Generally business to business (B2B) customers are also business to consumer customers, so relationships are generally the same. Both types of customers have become accustomed to performing consumer product research online. As a result, both are using either consumer websites or B2B versions of consumer websites to purchase products and services for their companies or in their capacity as   individuals

Regulations and Initiatives

Commerce is regulated in South Africa by the Consumer Affairs  Committee.The committee sets out basic guidelines that require that suppliers (not users) of “cryptography” services or products register their names and addresses and the names of their products with a brief description in a register maintained by the Department of Communications. Unless the (local or foreign) supplier has registered, it cannot provide services or products in South  Africa.

Your favourite business forum has several initiatives for the benefit of members. At ZBIN we keep moving, scanning the environment and finding opportunities for our members. We are however careful not to mislead our members into joining ponzi schemes. We usually take our time to study and analyse schemes before encouraging our members and followers to join. This is why we are taking our time to study Bitcoin before we encourage you to join the scheme. We do not have sufficient information about it, we have no known case studies of people who have benefited so for this reason, we are taking time to analyse because people have every right to question every initiative especially after dubious schemes such as the  Sack Potato,Quail Birds and MMM schemes.

One of the schemes we are involved in and have studied in detail is Online Forex Trading. A legal genuine way of participating on the forex trading market which is worth more than a Trillion US Dollars. For more information about Online Forex Trading do visit www.babypips.com

Below we try and answer some of the questions from members

Explanation of the initiative

Members get basic free training online forex trading, they get an overview of online forex trading, they are provided with a few resources before they start trading.

Who can join our group?

So far we are not adding new people, we would like all the over 300 people in our group to be experts on trading. We would like them to show successful results of trading before rolling out more trainings to other members.

Is success guaranteed?

Online forex trading is not a get rich quick scheme, members get trained and they have to put an extra 80% effort on their own to be experts. We have found innovative ways of obtaining information that helps members to improve their trading and to date this has been successful. This is the model we will be using –a platform where members are trading on a small scale, sharing information of how trades are going with the hope of improvement

Online Forex Fraudsters

In Zimbabwe fraud is commonly perpetrated by Online Forex Trading Trainers! Trainers have been asking people to invest or entrust them with funds for investment promising huge returns. Unfortunately there are no guaranteed returns in online forex trading. Most of the trainers fled the country after failing to return funds invested.

As ZBIN our policy is that you trade on your own! We are always quick to kick out anyone promoting any Ponzi schemes or any other schemes apart from Online Forex Trading. We are always emphasising this because as a registered trust, the last thing we would like to do is to be involved in dodgy schemes.

When is the next training

The next training is on this Friday in Harare in the afternoon. It is a follow up to the initial training conducted 2 weeks ago. This time trainees will get hands on training at a café in Harare. This is our first official group that will be involved in our initiative of trading, members will be starting with very low amounts and getting confidence before funding their accounts with large amounts. As earlier explained, they trade on their own and checking within the community for any problems, sharing successes and failures.

When is the next window opening?

The cost of online forex trading training is very high with some trainers charging fees of $150-$250 for a full course or $15 per hour for different modules. ZBIN is therefore the only known institution that is doing it for free and we are hoping to successfully showcase success stories by end of June. We would like to show that we trained x number of people and they earned xy amount individually and collectively. Between now and end of June, we encourage folks interested in joining us to visit www.babypips.com where they can access a lot of resources before they join us.

We have great news for our members; your favourite business forum in Zimbabwe has appointed a Deputy Chief Executive Officer. We have appointed Makaita V Munzeiwa as ZBIN Deputy Chief Executive Officer with effect from 1 June 2017. She is an administration professional with over 10 years of experience gained in the Private and NGO sectors. She holds qualifications in journalism, intellectual Property Management and Patent Filing. She is passionate about women and youth empowerment and aims to start an Intellectual Consultancy firm in the near future. She is currently studying Communication Science with UNISA.

Makaita’s first priority is the setting up of a resource centre for the organisation and ensure that the organisation delivers high quality information and services to our more than 28,000 members and followers. We believe that with full time employees, ZBIN will be able to effectively deliver on our objectives of Information provision, enabling members to have access to markets, access to capital and the promotion of effective partnerships between locals and the diaspora community as well as locals and foreign nationals.

Makaita is married and has 2 children. She is an amateur culinary chef and enjoys live music concerts.

We wish her well in her new position.

ZBIN was in Chitungwiza today for a business presentation and what is the feedback? The feedback is that the presentation was successful, the response from Revival Ministries Church being awesome. Truth is we had never heard about the name of this pentecostal church! We did not even know where is it located but when the invitation to come and present came-we welcomed it with open hands, we do not turn down opportunities to talk about business to church members. We do this for free and this is something we love to do-to share business information and help inspire Zimbabweans to identify opportunities and take advantage of them.

The  Church and Lack of Business Information

We asked the more than 100 congregants how many new of the POTRAZ Funding Opportunity? The answer was none, We asked how many were aware of the Homelink Credit Facility? Only 2 members had heard about it and mostly through the STARFM Radio program. We asked how many were knowledgeable of the Ministry of SME: India-Africa Incubation Centre, Harare Opportunities for training? The response was none!

This was very worrisome because this information is available free of charge, this information is available on Facebook, newspapers and also on this site. What made the situation worse is that the deadlines for the application of these funds are drawing close and yet hundreds of people have no knowledge of them.

The Good News

The good news is that we gave church members information of where they can get funding and the need for speed in applying. Our presentation was mostly concentrated on changing the mindset inorder to identify opportunities, the need to be always looking for opportunities, the importance of business plans, the digital economy and opportunities, case studies of success and a lot of other opportunities ideas.

The Youths and Business

Before carrying out this interview, we had inquired about the composition of the congregants and had established that the youths constituted the bulk of members. We therefore tailor made our presentation for this particular sector. We tackled Tourism and Opportunities, Start Up companies, Virtual Zimbabwe Opportunities and a lot more.

Identifying Opportunities on your own

Identifying opportunities is your own responsibility, there is no school on identifying opportunities. One must develop skills of identifying opportunities in the economy and we gave numerous examples of how this is done and enjoyed the participation of congregants on this topic. A hands on approach and we gave relevant examples of our experience at Makoni Shopping Centre and what we had already identified in the 5 minutes we were there.

Follow Ups from the presentation

Looks like one and a half hours was not enough despite the speed of delivery and the handouts we had prepared in advance. ZBIN has therefore been invited for a follow up visit at the same venue. Before we visit them again, we will follow up on the funding opportunities that members need to apply for before the closure of due dates. We will also follow up with free Online Forex Trading for youths, add interested members to our ZBIN platforms and share the small business ideas that we promised.

So there is an acute lack of information on opportunities that are available in the economy, most youths still do not have access of information of  where to get funding, where or how to access markets. Radios and newspapers are trying their best to provide information but how effective is this medium of information dissemination? If people in Chitungwiza with easy access to information through radios, television and newspapers have little knowledge of opportunities-how about someone in remote areas of the country?

So more work required by policy makers and media practioners to find out whether business information is trickling to the ordinary person. To Pastor Zulu, we really thank him for affording us this opportunity to come and help Zimbabweans to appreciate the importance of having access to valuable business information. We are glad to have played a small part in the transformation of the minds of Chitungwiza residents in relation to business opportunities that exist under the current economic environment. Its not all gloom and doom when you have access to information such as funding and access to markets!

Tomorrow your favourite forum will be carrying out a business presentation for the Holiness in Revival Church based in Chitungwiza, Harare. In carrying our researches for the presentation, we came across inspirational bible verses and we share them below:

Philippians 3:13-14 NIV Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Too often, we as small business owners relive past hurt and disappointments. Let it go, shake it off and move forward. You probably thought you were going to get that contract, but if you didn’t, you were not supposed to. Keep pressing ahead in truth and integrity, and everything will work out in your business.

Deuteronomy 8:18 NIV But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.  Many of us who call ourselves entrepreneurs and small business owners are arrogant.  It certainly takes confidence to be successful in business but you must always remember from whom all blessings flow. God has given you the talent and ability to make money, and that should keep you humble.

1 Peter 4:10 NIV Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. You should think of your business as a service to others first. Making money will come second. It’s about give to get. If you make networking all about closing a contract, people will see right through you and you’ll get nowhere fast. Listen for an opportunity to give first.

2 Corinthians 13:5-6 NIV Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test? And I trust that you will discover that we have not failed the test.  There will be times in your business when your faith in people will be tested, but you can’t judge everyone by the actions of one person. People are human they will let you down sometimes. You can’t grow your business by yourself. You’ll need to be able to trust others with key roles to build the business of your dreams. Be smart. Use contracts, non-disclosure and non-compete agreements with everyone. Never lose faith in yourself or others.

Matthew 6:14-15 NIV For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. Have a forgiving spirit. Now that doesn’t mean to keep employees and contracts that don’t deliver, just don’t be hateful. Everyone makes mistakes, and you will, too. If you have a spirit of forgiveness, your client might just have that same spirit, when you miss a major deliverable.

Isaiah 45:2 NIV I will go before you and will level the mountains; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron. Always know that it is God who fights your battles. Don’t waste energy trying to get back at those who wrong you in business. Their actions will eventually come to light. People put themselves out of business.

Joshua 1:9 NIV Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. The number #1 thing that holds back most entrepreneurs is confidence. Be strong and courageous about your business. You are selling yourself as much as your product or service. If you don’t believe in it, then no one else will believe in it either. Make sure your self-talk is positive. Master your pitch and just wait for the answer.

Mark 5:36 NIV Overhearing what they said, Jesus told them, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” There will be times when you are the only person who believes in your business dream. God wants us to push ourselves to greatness. Don’t be afraid; just believe in yourself and your business idea. Do your homework and identify a target client. When you have a plan, you don’t have to be afraid. Winging it is scary.

1 Peter 5:8 NIV Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. The devil is always out to conquer and destroy relationships in business and in your personal life. Give people around you the benefit of the doubt. When you feel offended or angry, make sure your emotions are not lying to you. Focus on what is true. Before you need to make a hard call or have a difficult meeting, pray first for the right words.

3 John 1:2 NIV Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. It is important that you prioritize your health as you build your business. Too many of us entrepreneurs are workaholics. You are not a machine. Focus on your self-care. Schedule time for yourself to go on a date, read, workout, or spending time with your kids.

Proverbs 2:6-8 NIV For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones. God will give you the desire of your heart, if you serve him. Be a good boss, mentor and friend to your fellow business owners and God will never forsake you. Sleep well knowing God’s always got your back, and your front when you need it.

Proverbs 29:11 NIV Fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end. Watch your temper! The devil can use you when you give in to a flash of rage. Words hurt, and you can’t take them back if too much damage is done. Wait 24 hours before responding to an angry email, or better yet just pick up the phone and talk.

Romans 8:5 NIV Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. Each day, I seek to be an example of God’s light and love. Make sure you know the real motives behind why you work so hard in your business. Who are you glorifying? Money isn’t everything. Focus on what is really important in life.

Candy Floss Business Idea

Did you read our post on areas where Zimbabweans are spending money on? Food is on top of the priority list. Education for kids-infact Zimbabweans are spending more money on kids when compared to other areas. Food for kids, Education for kids, Clothing for kids, Entertainment for kids etc. The idea of a candy floss business would suit someone interested in kids business. Making candy at pre-school parties, school events, kid events. Target areas include places where parents take kids for entertainment-Megga2, Longcheng, Lake Hunyani etc. For inspiration one may need to visit the Lion and Cheeter Park.

Price Ranges

You can purchase them from South Africa and prices vary from R800 for basic candy floss machines to as high as R8.000.

Second Business Idea

I was in Rusape in March this year and needed to fix my truck which had a key problem. So when i asked for directions of where to find a locksmith, I was referred to Nyathi who operates next to Ok Stores. So i went there and got Nyathi to fix my key and in the meantime decided to find out business at the flea market located next o Ok Stores.

Whilst there-i got an opportunity to have a chat with one of the ladies who was selling fresh fried chips. She had a wonderful Chip Fryer and at first i thought it was powered by electricity but got a suprise to learn that it is gas powered and mobile too!

Then we got to serious business talk, how much does she earn per day? Her answer was that business had gone down in recent months. She was now making on average daily sales of $7 per day from the previous $20 -$30 she used to make in 2016. Sometime business peaks when she sells her chips and sausages at church functions or sporting events or during weekends.

Potential

We recommend the mobile chip fryer for our members dotted across the country. It is fuel economic, it is mobile and affordable. You can use it to earn an extra income at sporting events, school functions, church gatherings etc. One setting up a fryer at a busy rural business centre such as Mverechena or Showgrounds should be able to make profits. The hidden trick in the business is the price of chips….for $1 a pack, customers will always be willing to buy-who doesnt want fresh chips for such a small amount? It can provide serious competition to $1 sadza plate sellers.

So there you are-sometimes we are talking of megga investment business ideas such as the Truck Inns, or opening up a pub at Westgate or we are talking of businesses that do not require a lot of capital, businesses that bring $5-$20 in revenue-this is the beauty of ZBIN, we cover the needs of everyone-small scale or big scale investor.

In the meantime we are blessed to recieve an invite from one of the leading pentecostal churches in Chitungwiza. We hope to do our best for a free business presentation. The aim is to inspire church members and equip them with business identification skills and be able to take advantage of them.

ZBIN wishes you a Blessed Weekend.
