A business delegation from India is expected in Zimbabwe at the end of the month to explore investment and trade opportunities in the country.

The delegation, representing 10 Indian companies, will arrive in Harare on May 29 to attend a business seminar and hold meetings with potential local partners.

The country's trade promotion body, ZimTrade, said in a statement the objective of the visit was to enhance economic linkages between Zimbabwe and India.

The trade promotion body said the delegation comprised representatives of companies with interest in infrastructure, mining, energy and power generation, pharmaceuticals, agro-food processing, transport and road, rail development and education.  

According to the ZimTrade Export Manufacturing Capacity Survey for 2013, local companies were failing to venture into exports due to a number of challenges resulting in a negative trade balance.
