Sable Park Estates has announced a US$22 million investment plan for 2026 to establish poultry and citrus value chains in Zimbabwe's Special Economic Zones (SEZs). The company has identified 1,000 hectares for development, which will support the country's horticulture sector growth to a US$2 billion industry.

The SEZ, under the investment vehicle SABLE PARK SEZ, aims to process 65 to 80 tonnes per hectare and will integrate logistics, dry port services, fertiliser manufacturing, and solar energy production. Significant upgrades are planned, including a processing abattoir and a commercial veterinary laboratory.

The citrus initiative aims to plant 400 hectares by 2027, requiring a US$12 million investment, and creating opportunities for an on-site packhouse and juicing plant. This plan is backed by the Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development.
