Buy Zimbabwe has been on the forefront of promoting industrialization and development for the past years.

“Over the years since the inception of the Buy Zimbabwe Movement, we have experienced redefinition of ourselves and the role of our industries in promoting industrialization and development. We have become more acutely aware that the responsibility of developing ourselves rests on our shoulders as Zimbabweans.

“Let me at this juncture thank the government for their vision and support to local industries. Vision 2030 and the NDS1 lay clear the role of local production in achieving our aspirations of an upper middle income economy by 2030. Government has followed this up with an enabling policy framework that seeks to deepen our local value chains.

“As the local content steering committee we will remain committed to increasing local content. We appreciate the Buy Zimbabwe awards which honour and promote outstanding companies that promote the production and consumption of local products,” he said. After formation of the organisation in 2011, Buy Zimbabwe held their inaugural Buy Zimbabwe Annual Awards on December 11, 2013. Since then the organization has continued holding the awards on a yearly basis.
