The Masvingo 2026 Agricultural Show was officially opened by Deputy Minister of Energy and Power Development, Hon. Yeukai Simbanegavi, with more than 150 exhibitors showcasing a wide range of products, services and innovations under the theme “Facilitating Trade for Economic Growth.”

In her keynote address, Hon. Simbanegavi commended farmers, exhibitors, businesses, Government departments and other stakeholders for making the show possible, describing agriculture as a key pillar of Masvingo’s economy. She said the exhibition provides an important platform for showcasing products, building business partnerships, accessing markets and attracting investment.

She highlighted Masvingo’s agricultural potential, noting that the province produced about 293,678 metric tonnes of cereals during the 2025/26 season, against a requirement of 196,624 tonnes, resulting in a surplus of approximately 97,054 tonnes. She called for increased investment in irrigation, mechanisation, climate-smart agriculture, value addition and market linkages.

Hon. Simbanegavi also urged farmers to increase production of traditional grains such as sorghum, pearl millet and finger millet, while encouraging investors to expand local processing and value addition in agriculture, mining and other sectors.

She said improved infrastructure, tourism development, support for MSMEs and stronger linkages between agriculture, mining, manufacturing and tourism are critical to Masvingo’s ambition of building a US$8 billion provincial economy by 2030.

She further called on citizens to promote responsible behaviour, including road safety, while combating drug and substance abuse, gender-based violence, child abuse and child marriages.

Hon. Simbanegavi concluded by declaring the 2026 Masvingo Provincial Agricultural Show officially open, urging stakeholders to “produce more, trade more, process more, invest more and create more opportunities” for the people of Masvingo.

The Minister of State for Masvingo Province, Hon. E.R. Chadzamira, accompanied the Minister of Mines and Mining Development, Hon. Polite Kambamura, for the groundbreaking ceremony at Bikita Minerals, Zimbabwe's biggest lithium miner, which is set to construct a Tantalite and Niobium Recovery Plant as it accelerates its drive to process high-value minerals locally.

The plant, expected to be completed by March next year, will process tailings accumulated over several years, turning previously discarded material into high-value concentrate, marking a shift from the export of raw minerals towards local processing and beneficiation in line with Government's drive to maximise value from Zimbabwe's mineral resources.

Tantalite is a critical mineral used in mobile phone capacitors, laptops and jet engines, and the project comes ahead of Government's January 2027 deadline for ending the export of raw minerals.

Mines Minister Dr Polite Kambamura, who toured various plants at Bikita Minerals before the groundbreaking ceremony, said he was impressed by the developments, stating that value addition and beneficiation are being prioritised as the President wants, and that mining sector export revenue has gone up by 97 percent since February, a clear indication that the policies introduced are working.

For Masvingo, the expansion is expected to contribute to economic growth, with Minister Chadzamira saying what is being done at Bikita shows the province is on course to attain its eight-billion-dollar economy because value addition means more revenue for the province and the country.

Bikita Minerals is also constructing a lithium sulphate plant expected to be completed before the end of the year, marking another step in its drive to move from raw mineral production towards processing and beneficiation.
