AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Livestock & Agriculture: South Africa’s FMD push is ramping up with 13.5m vaccine doses procured since February and 4.4m animals vaccinated so far, with new consignments set to accelerate coverage in feedlots and red meat, milk and border areas. Climate Finance Gap: Zimbabwe says it needs $4.8bn by 2030 for climate commitments, but approved funding is only $35.4m, with calls for stronger governance and accountability in how climate money is managed. Industrialisation & Skills: Local engineers are being urged to keep driving Vision 2030, while Zimbabwe also signs a diaspora skills push to plug gaps in advanced mineral processing and battery manufacturing. Solar & Energy Access: Millennium Heights in Harare powers ahead with a 1MW solar plant for estate operations, cutting reliance on the grid. Mining Safety & Policy: 64 artisanal miners died in Q1 2026, mostly from ground collapses, and watchdogs warn Zimbabwe’s strategic minerals policy may be on weak legal footing, risking regulatory uncertainty. Trade & Manufacturing: Zimbabwe’s trade deficit widened 16% in April to $169.6m as exports fell, while China’s zero-tariff access and the launch of a women-led manufacturing body (ZWIM) aim to open new export opportunities. Regulation & Consumer Protection: IPEC cancels Orchid Funeral Assurance’s licence and orders policyholders to submit claims by June 30. Food & Risk: UN weather warnings flag El Nino-driven extreme heat and drought risks, while fuel shocks are squeezing household purchasing power.
