“…According to a Finscope survey (2012), Zimbabwe has 2 748 890 SMEs, which are contributing 60% to the nation's GDP, and employing 2.9 million people. Despite this, the economic crisis, environmental changes and governance complexities, are aggressively forcing the Zimbabwean government to poorly implement SME policies, resulting in a growth 'miscarriage' of SMEs (Rurinda, Mapfumo, van Wijk, Mtambanengwe, Rufino, Chikowo & Giller, 2014, Chingwaru & Jarkata,2015).Traditionally, SMEs in the agricultural sector are always on the lookout for new solutions to address their management challenges (Koranteng, Osei-Bonsu, Ameyaw , Ameyaw , Agyeman, & Dankwa, 2017).Therefore SMEs in the agrarian sector in Zimbabwe need re-engineering since their growth will ensure food security through value-addition and increased productivity (Arudchelvan, 2015).…”
