Concession, located within the highly productive Mazowe District, stands as a testament to Zimbabwe's dual heritage of mining and agriculture. Originally established as a hub for gold and chrome extraction, the town has evolved into a cornerstone of the nation's agricultural sector. The surrounding fertile soils of the Mazowe Valley support vast estates of tobacco, maize, and citrus, making it a vital economic artery just north of Harare. Its strategic location facilitates the transport of goods between the capital and the northern provinces. Visitors to Concession can observe the bustling activity of a regional trade center where traditional farming practices coexist with industrial mining operations. The town's historical roots as a mining concession are still visible in its infrastructure, providing a unique backdrop to its current status as a bustling agricultural powerhouse.
