Senior government officials yesterday urged investors to back Mashonaland East as a key growth hub, highlighting opportunities in agriculture, mining, tourism, and renewable energy at a provincial investment conference.
The event, organised by the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development, was held under the theme “Home of Emerging Opportunities.”
Officials noted that the province’s proximity to Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport and trade routes into Mozambique positions it as a prime investment destination.
Agriculture remains Mashonaland East’s anchor sector, contributing significantly to national tobacco and dairy output, while mining prospects in lithium, granite, and gold are increasingly attracting investor interest.
Officials also pointed to solar energy and tourism as underdeveloped industries with strong growth potential.
Cabinet ministers pledged to cut bureaucracy and streamline approvals.
“Our commitment is to reduce red tape, open up opportunities, and ensure investment translates into jobs and growth,” the Ministry of Finance said.
