About ZBPS

Learn about our journey, our mission, and our commitment to Zimbabwe's beef production sector.

Our History

The Zimbabwe Beef Producers Society (ZBPS) was established in 2022 with a clear mandate: to unite and empower Zimbabwe's beef producers under one representative body. Since our inception, we have grown to represent communal, small-scale, and commercial cattle farmers across all 10 provinces of Zimbabwe.

We are recognised by the Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development and are proud members of the Livestock and Meat Advisory Council (LMAC). Our affiliation with the Zimbabwe Herd Book (ZHB) further strengthens our commitment to quality and traceability in the beef industry.
