About Us
With over a decade in the production and distribution of traditional cereal grains, vegetables, nuts, fruits, tubers and legumes, you know you can trust Orsha Foods to supply you with top quality products.
WE HAVE ONE GOAL
To always provide excellent quality service and products
ORSHA Associates (Private Limited) was established in 1997. Orsha Wholesome Foods division (Orsha Foods) was initiated over a decade later initially on a trial part time basis in 2009.
The success of the trial inevitably then led to its full implementation beginning in mid-2012, following the development of a strategic business plan that guided its roll-out.
Orsha Foods aims to promote the production, processing, distribution and consumption of quality traditional cereal grains, vegetables, nuts, fruits, tubers and legumes.
To achieve this we work closely with smallholder farmers throughout Zimbabwe. These smallholder farmers are the main producers and harvesters of these traditional foods. We also produce some crops for processing at our farm in
Chinhoyi, Mashonaland West Province.
The processing and packing are done at our factory in Marlborough, Harare.
The finished products are distributed to selected retail outlets for sale to final consumers. A good portion of our products are distributed through health institutions such as Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals.
