ZIDA unveils manufacturing investment opportunities

THE Zimbabwe Investment and Development Agency (ZIDA) has launched its 2026 Projects Prospectus, showcasing a range of investment-ready initiatives across manufacturing, agriculture, mining, energy, tourism and infrastructure, in a move which underscores the government’s commitment to making manufacturing a central driver of economic growth.

“Manufacturing is at the heart of Zimbabwe’s industrialisation agenda, and these projects are designed to reduce import dependence, boost exports, create jobs, and strengthen Zimbabwe’s integration into regional markets,” a statement by ZIDA reads.

Among the key initiatives is a US$2,426 million concrete sleeper manufacturing plant by the National Railways of Zimbabwe (NRZ) in Bulawayo, expected to produce 60 000 sleepers annually.
