AGP Executive Report

Last update: 40 minutes ago

Mining Policy & Industrialisation: Government says it will push a “big boost” for mining and strengthen state institutions around the Zimbabwe School of Mines, while youth miners in Masvingo are urged to tap local investment opportunities across lithium, gold, chrome and industrial minerals. Lithium Value-Add: Zimbabwe’s early-2026 ban on exporting unprocessed lithium concentrate is framed as a bid to capture more value domestically and reduce dependence on raw-material exports. Education Regulation: Higher and Tertiary Education Minister Frederick Shava orders mandatory pre-departure clearance for Zimbabweans going to foreign universities and pushes Treasury talks over tertiary funding. Healthcare & Jobs: Mpilo Central Hospital’s cancer upgrade is nearing completion, with more equipment planned using proceeds from the sugar content tax. Agriculture & Food Security: US USDA forecasts a 38% corn output rebound in 2026-27, cutting expected imports by 25%, while tobacco sales volumes rise but prices fall sharply, squeezing farmer earnings. Cement & Manufacturing: PPC reports a second year of turnaround with a 31% EBITDA jump, and Zimgold is investing in a Bulawayo oil extraction/refining plant to expand capacity and target regional exports. Mining Safety: ZDAMWU marks the Kamandama disaster anniversary by calling for tougher mine safety standards and stronger worker protections. Trade & Compliance: High Court strikes off GMAZ’s urgent challenge to the grain import levy framework, clearing the way for continued implementation. Finance & Capital Markets: Ndarama plans tokenised real-asset trading and token-backed lending, while VFEX expects continued momentum as more ZSE counters migrate.
