Zimbabwe ramps up rabbit farming capacity amid rising demand

THE Zimbabwe Commercial Rabbit Breeders Association (Zicorba), in partnership with the Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development, conducted a training workshop last week in Harare to equip livestock officers and emerging farmers with essential skills in commercial rabbit farming.  

The session, aimed at boosting productivity in Zimbabwe’s growing rabbit industry, comes as demand for rabbit meat continues to rise nationwide.  

The programme provided foundational expertise in rabbit production—a sector offering numerous advantages, including high-quality protein, efficient land use, and environmentally sustainable farming practices.
