Beverage manufacturer Delta Corporation contributed US$473 million to the country's economy in 2025 through its non-alcoholic drinks business and associated supply chains, according to a new economic impact study.

The study, conducted by global consultancy Steward Redqueen found that the business supported more than 27 390 jobs through its operations and wider network of local suppliers, distributors and retailers.

The findings were presented at the 19th COMESA Business Forum in Harare highlighting the role of local manufacturing and supply chains in supporting economic growth and employment.

Delta Corporation chief executive Matlhogonolo Valela said the independent assessment demonstrated the company's contribution to Zimbabwe's economy and communities.

"This independent study reaffirms Delta Corporation's essential role in Zimbabwe's economic growth, job creation, and community development," he said.

The study focused on Delta's production of non-alcoholic ready-to-drink beverages under Coca-Cola and other company brands.
