Selebi - Phikwe’s First Citrus Farm

Selebi Phikwe Citrus, a pioneer for agriculture in Botswana, is a 1200-hectare horticultural development near Selebi-Phikwe in the Central District of Botswana. Intended as a flagship project for the country, it will set in motion the growth and expansion of a sustainable industry.

Where it all began

What started as a dream many years ago has slowly but surely become a reality. Today, a 1200-hectare citrus farm is taking shape in a small town called Selebi-Phikwe, situated in the Central District of Botswana. Furthermore, this ambitious project is not only transforming the agricultural landscape but also creating opportunities for people and businesses in the region.

The first saplings of citrus trees are growing beautifully at Selebi Phikwe Citrus.

Production for Agriculture in Botswana

Although the first tree was planted in 2020, our orchards will only reach full production in a few years’ time. Our team is hard at work, with the vision to establish 800 hectares of citrus and 400 hectares of other fruit by 2025.
