Major Blow For China As Govt Mulls Ban On Export Of Raw Granite
7 June 2019
Government will soon ban unprocessed granite exports as part of efforts to enhance foreign currency generation.
This was said by President Mnangagwa yesterday after touring Southern Granites (PVT) Ltd in Chitungwiza.
The company is into processing of granite and the President said he was impressed by its operations.
“This has been an eye-opener. I am told that this factory has been in existence for quite some time, but all that I knew was our rocks were being extracted and depleted in Mutoko and sent in big blocks to Beira on their way to Europe,” he said.
