Zimbabwe’s COMESA Chairmanship Puts Seed Security and Trade in Focus
From the Plug.

What happened\n\nZimbabwe is due to host the 25th COMESA Heads of State and Government Summit in October. Sunday News reports that the bloc is moving to operationalise a seed information system and harmonised labelling and certification, with Zimbabwe positioned to encourage practical regional action.\n\n## Why it matters\n\nBetter seed information, common standards and faster cross-border movement could support farmers facing climate shocks and give Zimbabwean seed businesses access to a wider market. Implementation, quality safeguards and links to national extension services will determine the practical benefit.
