As the sun rises over the vibrant town of Chegutu, preparations are in full swing for one of the region’s most anticipated events—the Chegutu Agricultural Show, set to take place from July 15–19, 2025, at Pfupajena Stadium.
Organized by the Chegutu Agricultural Show Society, in close collaboration with the District Development Committee (DDC) and District Agritex Officer Jesilina Katanda, this year’s edition promises to be more inclusive, dynamic, and impactful than ever before.

“We are calling on everyone to come and experience the magic of the Chegutu Agricultural Show. It’s more than just an event—it’s a celebration of our agricultural roots, our innovative potential, and our community’s resilience.”
What to Expect
Over five exciting days, Pfupajena Stadium will transform into a bustling showcase of agricultural excellence, industrial progress, and cultural pride. Visitors can expect:

This year’s theme focuses on community empowerment through agriculture and innovation, and the program is packed with interactive, educational, and entertaining activities for all ages.
Collaborative Effort, Shared Vision
According to Musarurwa, the event is the result of collective effort:
“We’re working closely with local businesses, farmers, and community groups to make this year’s show a memorable success. It’s a space to share knowledge, showcase talent, and celebrate what makes Chegutu—and Zimbabwe—so unique.”
The show also serves as a platform to support smallholder farmers and promote local enterprise, creating opportunities for growth, learning, and investment within and beyond the agricultural sector.
