Empowering Gardeners with Essential Accounts Training
- Written by: Tafadzwa Mazviba
As part of an ongoing effort towards enhancing agricultural in its Bulawayo market garden project, the team recently conducted an accounts training session at Kirimuva Market Garden.
This initiative comes on the heels of the impressive progress made by the newly launched three-week-old broiler chicken project, which has garnered attention for its potential to transform the gardens’ business landscape.
The training session focused on the critical importance of bookkeeping for farmers looking to run successful chicken projects and horticultural initiatives.
As agricultural enterprises evolve into business hubs rather than mere sustenance providers, understanding financial management becomes paramount.
Participants were taught essential skills in tracking expenses, managing income, and evaluating profitability—tools that are vital for making informed decisions and ensuring long-term sustainability.
ZDDT's commitment to fostering a growth mind-set among project beneficiaries is evident as they encourage a shift from traditional farming methods to more entrepreneurial approaches.
The accounts training not only equips participants with necessary financial literacy but also reinforces their ability to navigate the complexities of running a business.
As Kirimuva market garden continues to develop into a hub of agricultural innovation, sessions like these will play an instrumental role in shaping successful ventures that uplift not only individual farmers but also contribute to community resilience.
Looking ahead, ZDDT, remains committed to supporting local farmers through ongoing education and resources, ensuring they are well-equipped to turn their agricultural dreams into reality.
