ABOUT US
About Mercado Agency
Mercado agency is a planning consultancy established to provide advice to Government, Industry and Communities on all facets of agricultural planning and to facilitate the implementation of strategies. As our name suggests, we are a market agency with the vision of assisting farmers to get whatever they need to get to the market. The range of issues addressed includes rural and urban land use issues as well as public policy, community economic development, strategic planning, facilitation, research and community consultation, finance as well as advice on development applications and rezonings.
Planning for rural land has become an emerging issue facing rural Zimbabwe. There is a need for a specialist consultancy which can provide quality, accurate and timely advice to those who manage rural land or who earn their living from the land. This advice needs to be delivered by a Consultancy that has got Zimbabwean agriculture at heart, understands the policy issues affecting the country and who has worked exclusively in the private sector as a legal liaison for agricultural planning companies both in and outside Zimbabwe.
