Zimbabwe Beef Producers Society

A unified, organised voice for beef producers, the ZBPS has been born out of a long-held need to represent, advocate for, and represent the interests of all beef producers in Zimbabwe.

It exists for the improvement of the conditions precedent to the production of good quality Zimbabwean beef. Their mission is to promote the growth of the beef industry in our country and the ZBPS will continue to work for the improvement of conditions of entry into the industry, and advocate for a milieu that will see small-scale farmers grow their beef operations and profitability.

The ZBPS is working with the Department of Veterinary Services, its parent Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development and other agencies to enhance the internal market and to re-establish external markets for beef producers.
