The Grain Millers Association of Zimbabwe National Chairman Tafadwa Musarara has announced that the price of a standard loaf of bread will be reduced from ZWL79 to ZWL66.

Musarara said the positive development was a product of discussions between GMAZ and Reserve bank of Zimbabwe Governor Dr John Panonetsa Mangudya who assured them that foreign currency allocations will be made to millers.

Besides the reason given by the Millers, facts on the ground indicate that consumers were no longer affording the staple food which was going for as high as $80 a loaf. The bread was getting stale on shelves which may have contributed to fall in the price.
