Kurima mabhanana muZimbabwe kwabudirira zvikuru nekuti miti iri nyore kutarisira. Miti yemabhanana inoda mamiriro ekunze anodziya, pamwe chete nemamiriro epasi akakodzera uye ivhu rine rutare. Mamiriro ezvinhu echisikigo muHonde Valley muZimbabwe ari akanaka, saka akakodzera zvikuru kukurima mabhanana.
Kusvika muna 2015, varimi vanosvika 600 vekubhanana vakawana rubatsiro rwehunyanzvi muhunyanzvi hwekurima. Vanogona kushandura nzira dzavo dzekurima kuti vawedzere zvakanyanya kugadzirwa kwebhanana nemari. Varimi ava vanozopa ruzivo rwavo kune vanogara padhuze nevamwe munharaunda. Zvino, Bend Valley ine vanopfuura 5,000 vekurima mabhanana vekutengesa, mumwe nemumwe achiwana avhareji yeUS$4,200 pagore paacres.
