WHILE the pandemic has brought with it economic downturns which are being felt across sectors in Zimbabwe, it has also spurred the localization of value chains and the consumption of locally produced goods.
Logistical interruptions due to the Covid-19 pandemic have significantly impacted the international distribution of goods resulting in Zimbabweans turning to locally produced goods.
Denford Mutashu, President of Confederation of Zimbabwe Retailers Association, said the successive lockdowns imposed to stem the spread of Covid-19 saw a lot of domestic concentration of production, as opposed to reliance on the importation of finished commodities.
“And so far we have also seen increased participation by local products on shelf space across the country as we went into the festive period, all the shops were full and are still full with locally manufactured goods,” he told Xinhua.
