Dairibord Zimbabwe introduces new product

ZIMBABWE – Dairibord Zimbabwe has expanded its product line with the introduction of Cascade Peach Apricot.

The product is a flavored dairy fruit juice paired with the sweetness of soft peach and the tangy zest of apricot for a unique taste experience.

The product comes after the company unveiled an improved taste for its popular NaturalJoy juice range, refreshing the line with richer, more exotic flavor blends.

According to the company, consumers can enjoy the enhanced profiles in three variants: Passion Coconut, Apple Coconut, and Litchi Coconut.

The company’s decision to reformulate NaturalJoy reflects its commitment to continuous product improvement and responsiveness to consumer preferences.

Available in both 250ml and 1L packs, the range caters to on‑the‑go convenience as well as family consumption.
