The Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) which was supposed to run between the 21st and the 25th of April will now take place from the 28th of April to the 2nd of May this year.
The change of dates has been attributed to unforeseen circumstances and the ZITF said exhibitors have been notified of the development.
ZITF Board Chairman, Mr Bekithemba Nkomo said circumstances beyond control have necessitated the postponement of the trade fair by a week.
Mr Nkomo said they have since communicated with the exhibitors who have indicated that they will still come for the fair, adding that he change in dates will not affect the quality of the trade showcase.
To date, 300 direct exhibitors have confirmed participation, an increase from the 283 that had registered by the same period last year.
20 direct foreign exhibitors have booked space to date.
The highlights of the five-day exhibition include the International Business Conference, the Ultimate Home Improvement Expo as well as Scholastica for the education sector.
Exhibitors from Germany, Kenya, South Africa, the United States and Namibia have confirmed their participation.
