Magwanani mhuri yeZimbanwe🤗 I'm exploring the idea of starting an animal farming operation in Zimbabwe and would really appreciate insight from people with actual experience — whether you farm there now, used to, or know someone who does. A few specific things I'm trying to understand: Is it actually worth it? What's the real return on investment like once you factor in everything? Government involvement — land policy, permits, taxes, any "unofficial" costs? How much of a cut should I realistically expect to give up, formally or otherwise? Security/theft — how big a problem is livestock theft in practice, and what do people do to protect against it? Startup capital — roughly what would I need to get going (land, livestock, infrastructure, labor), and does that change a lot by region or animal type (cattle vs. goats vs. poultry, etc.)? Would love to hear both success stories and cautionary tales. Trying to go in with eyes open rather than rose-tinted glasses. Thanks in advance! Sorry if this reads like AI, I asked cause to summarise a discussion I was having regarding this matter. Hupenyu hwemu Uk rwarema amana🙆🏾♀️   submitted by   /u/ExistingFox8730 [link]   [comments]
