Default Zimbabwe?

i might be wrong but i thought that there was a trading embargo on Zimbabwe?

why i'm asking is that i was surprised to see fruit in ASDA that had the origin of country as Zimbabwe.

I think there is an Arms Embargo against Zimbabwe not a trade one.

I believe it was due to their stance on gay marriage. They considered it too fruity for their liking.
