Announcing the release on social media, Glytime Foods said the product is now being produced on its fully automated manufacturing line, reflecting increased investment in efficiency, consistency and scale.
According to the company, the new Granola Peanut Butter is the result of years of AI-driven design and formulation, combining data-led product development with local ingredient knowledge.

The product blends traditional peanut butter with granola, tapping into growing consumer demand for health-conscious, high-energy foods suited for breakfast, snacking and active lifestyles. Industry analysts note that hybrid products combining indulgence with nutrition are gaining traction across Africa and beyond.
Glytime Foods’ move also highlights the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence and automation within Zimbabwe’s manufacturing sector, as local firms seek to improve product quality, reduce waste and compete in export markets.
The launch comes as the country’s food processing industry looks to value addition and innovation to drive growth, particularly in the face of rising input costs and intense competition from imported goods.
Glytime Foods said the new Granola Peanut Butter will be rolled out through major retail outlets, with plans to explore regional and international distribution as production scales up.
The company positioned the product as part of its broader strategy to merge local flavours, modern nutrition trends and advanced manufacturing, reinforcing Zimbabwe’s potential as a source of innovative consumer goods for global markets.
