Masvingo Rural District Council has embarked on an ambitious programme to lure investors in fruit canning projects and mining.
The country had been attracting attention from foreign investors as the international community continues to warm up to the new dispensation led by President Mnangagwa.
Masvingo RDC chief executive Mr Martin Mubviro last week said his district had identified investment zones as it geared to cash in on the anticipated boom in investment.
Mr Mubviro said there were high prospects for investors to open fruit canning factories due to the presence of vast plantations of guavas and avocados in the district.
“We have identified investment hot spots across Masvingo district where investors can easily start their businesses because of the good road network and presence of electricity as we seek to take advantage of interest in the country after the adoption of the Zimbabwe is open for business mantra by Government,” he said.
“We have places such as Musvovi, Mashava, Mapanzure, Mashate and Nemamwa Growth Point where we feel investors will easily start businesses taking advantage of locally available natural resources.”
