Empowering Agricultural Trade Through the CBCA Program

Cotecna was proud to be part of this year’s ADMA Agri Show, Zimbabwe’s leading agricultural exhibition, where innovation and business converged to shape the future of farming. Our team was on the ground engaging with stakeholders across the agricultural spectrum, from suppliers of tractors and spare parts to fuel distributors, fertilizer importers, and heavy-duty vehicle dealers.

It was a pleasure to reconnect with our valued clients and meet new players in the agri-industry. The show provided the perfect platform to highlight Cotecna’s role in facilitating smooth and compliant trade into Zimbabwe through the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Consignment-Based Conformity Assessment (CBCA) program.

As a service provider for the CBCA program, Cotecna plays a critical role in supporting importation of Agri goods and other regulated products:

• Tractors and agricultural machinery
• Spare parts and implements
• Fuel and lubricants for agri operations
• Fertilizers and agrochemicals
• Utility and heavy-duty vehicles used in farming and distribution
• And much more

Our mission at the ADMA Agri Show was to raise awareness about the importance of pre-shipment conformity assessments and how Cotecna can assist importers in ensuring their products meet Zimbabwean regulatory standards before entering the market. We spoke to various players in the agri sector about how our services reduce delays at the border, prevent costly non-compliance issues, and ultimately support Zimbabwe’s drive towards modern, mechanized agriculture. 

Cotecna remains committed to helping agricultural stakeholders import quality, compliant products with confidence. Whether you’re bringing in equipment, fertilizers, or vehicles, we are here to make the process faster, safer, and smoother.
