Al vroeg in de twintigste eeuw waren aardappelen bekend in wat nu Zimbabwe is. In 1911 werden er aardappelrassen getest die to 11.5 ton per hectare opbrachten.
Door de jaren heen is de aardappel een van de meest geliefde gewassen geworden, zowel in de kleinschalige teel als in de grootschalige teelt.
Dit is aangemoedigd door de veranderende eetgewoonten, waarbij mais niet langer het belangrijkste voedingsmiddel was in de steden.
