Mashonaland West District Investment Proposals

An in-depth look at ZITIT's upcoming and proposed projects for targeted growth across the province.

Zone Profile: Chinhoyi & Makonde - The Provincial Core

As the provincial capital, Chinhoyi is a major administrative, educational, and agricultural service center. The district is a hub for maize and tobacco farming and hosts two major universities, creating a high demand for services and accommodation.

ZITIT's Strategic Focus

Our proposals leverage the academic and agricultural strengths of the zone. We will focus on student-centric real estate and developing agricultural support businesses that complement our flagship Grain Millers project.

Upcoming & Proposed ZITIT Projects

  • Project Proposal: ZITIT Stockfeed Manufacturing Feasibility Stage
    Establish a plant to produce high-quality livestock feed using bran (a by-product from ZITIT Grain Millers) and other locally sourced inputs. Justification: Creates a powerful synergy by turning a by-product into a profitable new product line, serving the vast livestock market.
  • Project Proposal: University Student Accommodation Land Identification Stage
    Develop secure, purpose-built housing complexes for students of Chinhoyi University of Technology (CUT) and Zimbabwe Open University (ZOU). Justification: Addresses the severe student housing crisis and guarantees a consistent, year-round rental income.

Zone Profile: Kariba - The Tourism & Fishing Jewel

Home to one of the world's largest man-made lakes, Kariba is a premier international and domestic tourist destination. The lake supports a multi-million dollar kapenta fishing industry and offers immense opportunities in hospitality and marine logistics.

ZITIT's Strategic Focus

Our strategy is to tap into the two main pillars of Kariba's economy: tourism and fishing. We aim to develop high-quality hospitality assets and a commercial fishing enterprise that can supply a national market.

Upcoming & Proposed ZITIT Projects

  • Project Proposal: ZITIT Safari & Houseboat Fleet Market Research Stage
    Acquire and operate a fleet of modern houseboats for tourist hire on Lake Kariba, offering all-inclusive safari and fishing packages. Justification: A high-margin tourism venture that leverages Kariba's primary attraction and global appeal.
  • Project Proposal: Commercial Kapenta Fishing Operation Feasibility Stage
    Establish a commercial fishing rig fleet with an associated onshore drying and packaging facility. Justification: A profitable, cash-generative business supplying a staple food product with immense national demand.

Zone Profile: Zvimba & Chegutu - The Agricultural Corridor

These districts are agricultural powerhouses, strategically located along the main Harare-Bulawayo highway. They are major producers of maize, tobacco, and cattle, and have a growing horticultural sector. Their location is ideal for logistics and real estate development.

ZITIT's Strategic Focus

Our proposals focus on leveraging the agricultural output and the strategic location of this corridor. We will invest in agro-processing, transport logistics, and real estate to service the flow of people and goods.

Upcoming & Proposed ZITIT Projects

  • Project Proposal: ZITIT Highway Truck Inn & Logistics Park Concept Stage
    Develop a large-scale truck stop and logistics park near Chegutu, offering secure parking, warehousing, and driver amenities. Justification: A strategic infrastructure investment that generates revenue from the high volume of commercial traffic on the nation's busiest highway.
  • Project Proposal: Large-Scale Horticulture & Export Packing Market Research Stage
    Establish a farm and packhouse for high-value export crops like fine beans, peas, and chilies. Justification: A foreign-currency generating venture that capitalizes on the region's excellent farming conditions and proximity to the airport.

Zone Profile: Kadoma & Hurungwe - The Mining & Cotton Belt

Kadoma is a major gold mining city, while Hurungwe is a key district for cotton and tobacco farming. This zone represents a dual economy of mining and agriculture, creating opportunities for support industries in both sectors.

ZITIT's Strategic Focus

Our strategy is to invest in businesses that service the primary economic drivers of this zone. We will focus on providing essential services to the mining sector and adding value to the agricultural cotton crop.

  • Project Proposal: Cotton Ginnery & Lint Baling Concept Stage
    Establish a cotton ginnery in Hurungwe to process raw cotton from local farmers into lint for the textile industry. Justification: A key value-addition step that provides a ready market for local farmers and produces a valuable industrial raw material.
