Belarus deal means bus and tractor jobs in Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe stands to gain more jobs as AVM Africa teams up with Belarus firms. The oldest bus maker in the country will soon restart production on a large scale. They plan to manufacture buses using steel from Dinson Iron and Steel Company. The company will also begin assembling tractors through this new partnership.

Industry Minister Mangaliso Ndlovu toured BiSON Agro Machinery and discussed how this project creates employment. Jobs will appear not just on assembly lines but throughout the supply chain. The initiative connects with the Zimbabwe-Belarus farm equipment program currently underway. Belarusian Vice Prime Minister Viktor Karankevich shared plans for Zimbabwe to receive over 700 tractors next year. The country will also gain 80 harvesters and more than 30 grain dryers.

The partnership aims to develop local job opportunities in equipment repair and training. Zimbabwe agriculture officials appreciate how Belarus helps modernize farming practices across the nation. They emphasized the importance of producing tractors locally rather than just importing them. This cooperation may generate thousands of positions across many skill levels. Workers from factory staff to agricultural mechanics will benefit from these new opportunities.
