Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Major supermarkets across the country have run out of fresh milk, a development that was confirmed by the Confederation of Retailers Association of Zimbabwe President Denford Mutashu.<\/p>\n

In Bulawayo, only a few retail outlets had imported milk from South Africa on the shelves by yesterday.<\/p>\n

Mutashu told State media that the milk shortages are a result of constrained supplies. He said:<\/p>\n

I can confirm that there is a shortage of milk across the country and this is due to constrained supply issues that we strongly believe the suppliers are working on.<\/p>\n

A manager at one of the supermarkets in Bulawayo who preferred to speak on the condition of anonymity said the shortage of milk is worrisome. He said:<\/p>\n

The shortage is worrisome for us retailers. For me, it\u2019s been two weeks now since I last received milk consignment especially the 400ml.<\/p>\n

The shortage is a big blow to us as it affects our sales besides disappointing customers.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, consumers suspect that some retailers were hoarding the commodity to create artificial shortages with the intention to hike prices.<\/p>\n

Mutashu urged milk suppliers to urgently address the problem and desist from unwarranted price increases. He said:<\/p>\n

Those who still have the milk should ensure it is distributed to as many outlets as possible so that customers get the milk.<\/p>\n

I also urge them to maintain affordable prices and not take advantage of the situation to increase prices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
