WELCOME TO Selebi Phikwe CITRUS
Selebi Phikwe Citrus
Selebi Phikwe Citrus is an ambitious and pioneering agricultural project that represents a turning point for Botswana’s horticultural industry. Spanning 1,840 hectares near Selebi-Phikwe in the Central District, it is designed as a flagship initiative to diversify the economy beyond mining and set the foundation for a sustainable agribusiness sector.
Selebi Phikwe Citrus comprises 1840 hectares of land that will ultimately house 1250 hectares of citrus, a packhouse, a variety of storage and irrigation dams. Development commenced in December 2020. Where soil is unsuitable for citrus cultivation, or the area too rocky, the land is used for conservation and staff housing.
Production for Agriculture in Botswana
Although the first trees were planted in 2021, our orchards will take a few more years to reach full production. Our team is working diligently, with 80% of the 1250 hectare orchard target established , and the remaining development is on track to be completed by 2028.
