  • Describe How You Would Like To Be Introduced Via Email
    Shasha Steel is a proudly Zimbabwean, women-led enterprise providing innovative and cost-effective agricultural machinery for smallholder farmers, commercial producers and agro-processing businesses.

    Shasha Steel designs and fabricates practical solutions including its game-changing Multicrop Thresher, manual hay baler, maize dehauller and grinding mill, feed mixer, and versatile nut butter machine. Their equipment is designed to improve productivity, reduce post-harvest losses and labour costs, and make agricultural mechanisation more accessible, particularly to rural and smallholder farmers.

    I believe there may be an opportunity for you to connect and explore how Shasha Steel’s solutions could support your agricultural or agro-processing needs.
  • What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
    Our why is empowerment through accessible agricultural mechanisation.

    We believe that farmers, particularly smallholder and rural farmers, should have access to practical, durable and affordable machinery that helps them produce more, reduce losses, lower labour costs and create sustainable livelihoods.

    As a women-led enterprise, we are also passionate about demonstrating what is possible for women in engineering, manufacturing and agriculture, while encouraging more women to participate confidently in sectors traditionally dominated by men.

    Ultimately, we do what we do because when farmers have the right tools, they can move beyond subsistence, increase their income and create opportunities for their families and communities.
  • Qualifying Questions: What are three questions we can ask clients to help pave the way for a referral? List them here.
    1. Are you currently farming or involved in agro-processing, and are there parts of your production process that are too labour-intensive, slow or costly?

    2. Are you experiencing challenges with threshing, baling, milling, feed preparation or processing crops into higher-value products?

    3. Would investing in affordable, locally manufactured machinery help you increase production, reduce costs or create an additional income stream?
  • Unique Selling Proposition
    Shasha Steel provides practical, durable and cost-effective Zimbabwean-made agricultural machinery designed around the realities of African farmers.

    Unlike one-size-fits-all imported solutions, our equipment is engineered to address real challenges faced by smallholder, rural and commercial farmers, including unreliable electricity supply, high labour costs, post-harvest losses and the need to diversify income.

    From our innovative Multicrop Thresher and electricity-independent manual hay baler to integrated processing solutions such as our maize dehauller and grinding mill, feed mixer and versatile nut butter machine, Shasha Steel helps farmers do more with less while creating greater value from what they produce.

    In one sentence:
    Shasha Steel is your one-stop solution for accessible agricultural mechanisation, helping farmers reduce losses, lower costs, increase productivity and turn their produce into greater income.
