President Mnangagwa visited National Foods and praised their new factories. The company spent millions building plants that make breakfast cereals, biscuits, and pasta. Zimbabwe wants to make more food at home instead of buying from other countries. Local farmers will sell their crops to these new factories. The president said this helps the country become stronger and more independent.
The pasta factory can make 1,200 tons each month using wheat from Zimbabwe. Before this, the country bought most pasta from abroad. The breakfast cereal plant will use 15,000 tons of local corn every year. Workers at the biscuit factory can produce 1,300 tons monthly. These factories create jobs for people and save money for the nation.
National Foods already sells products to Zambia, Botswana, and South Africa. The president wants the company to reach more countries across Africa. Government officials support businesses that help Zimbabwe grow. The new factories match the country's Vision 2030 goals. Ministers and business leaders attended the opening ceremony to celebrate the milestone.
