AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoRegional Logistics: Mozambique plans to invite private operators onto parts of its rail network, including the Beira–Machipanda route linking the port to Zimbabwe. The move could widen freight options as the Beira–Feruka fuel pipeline is expanded to carry five million cubic metres a year by December 2027. Mining: Mutapa Gold’s third-quarter profit rose 57% to US$45 million, helped by stronger gold prices, higher ore grades and improved recoveries. Zimbabwe is also pushing mercury-free extraction and has launched a guide to formalising artisanal mining. Agriculture: A projected 670,000-tonne cereal shortfall has prompted plans for grain imports and more irrigation as El Niño threatens the coming season. In Mutoko, farmers are diversifying into traditional grains better suited to dry conditions. Technology: Econet is promoting its CAIMEX platform, which gives users access to 100 AI models, as Zimbabwean businesses face rising cyber risks and boards are urged to strengthen oversight.
