Food company on expansion drive despite economic headwinds

LOCAL food company, Tammy’s Classic Foods, is pushing ahead with expansion plans despite facing significant operational challenges, an executive has said.

Founded in 2007, the company has evolved from a modest backyard kitchen in Dzivaresekwa into a registered SME supplying peanut butter, roasted groundnuts, popped maize (maputi) and sesame oil to retail shops, schools, and informal traders across
Harare.

The company was initially a micro-enterprise producing traditional snacks using basic home tools, which formalised operations in 2013.
