Liquidity crisis chokes local abattoirs

ZIMBABWE’S liquidity crisis has hit local abattoirs hard in the past year forcing most to reduce production below 50%, according to Abattoirs Association of Zimbabwe chairman Godfrey Chanetsa.

Chanetsa said business was bad and the industry was presently pinning its hopes on the ongoing tobacco sales.
“We had very low sales in 2014 and that seems to have set a wrong pace for 2015, which started on a very low key,” Chanetsa said without giving any figures.
