Meanwhile…
FOOD producer, National Foods Holdings Limited, will next year focus on the group’s recently introduced categories of cereals, biscuits and pasta as the consumer staples firm targets growth.
The group commissioned a state-of-the-art flour mill in Bulawayo and carried an upgrade of their innovative Cereals plant.
“Finally, 2024 saw the commissioning of a new biscuit line, which will mean we can extend our repertoire of products.”
The group’s new biscuit line can produce a wide range of biscuits and was commissioned in August 2024.
Its new pasta line, commissioned in February 2024, will result in the localisation of the production of pasta, a product that had previously been imported.
“The new, locally produced product is being marketed under the ‘Better Buy’ and recently launched ‘Primo’ brands and initial market response to the quality of the product has been extremely positive.”
