Abstract

SMEs in the agrarian sector of some developing nations are performing poorly, and reengineering them is viewed as one of the primary strategies for effective growth and sustainability of the agrarian sector. The contribution and impact of strategies for reengineering the growth of SMEs in the agrarian sector have not been fully explored. Thus, the objective of this study is to analyze the impact of strategies for reengineering the growth of SMEs and agriculture development in Zimbabwe, during the period 2015-2020. The results from a survey of SMEs in the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe revealed that the growth of SMEs in the agrarian sector will impact food security, the standard of living of communities, increase employment,economic growth and market share.
