He said:<\/p>\n<p>Definitely, we are very positive about the gains achieved so far. 2021 ended on a positive note and we are going forward to achieve more.<\/p>\n<p>You can also see that companies like National Blankets, which was closed some years back, is now on their feet and we are helping it to retool.<\/p>\n<p>We expect this company to come out stronger and the Government is prepared to support it.<\/p>\n<p>We are looking at such industries according to sectoral value chains and we expect many factories to re-open.<\/p>\n<p>We are working to resuscitate more and big things will happen in Bulawayo.<\/p>\n<p>Modi also said the Government is working on bringing the Cold Storage Company (CSC) back on its feet so that it can play a major role in the beef and leather value chain strategy.
