BREAD shortages have resurfaced throughout the country amid warnings that a 
massive price increase is in the offing.
Wellington Penyana, the Bakers Association of Zimbabwe (BAZ) president 
yesterday blamed the shortages on inadequate flour supplies and obsolete 
machinery at most bakeries.

Baz says Zimbabwe produces 600 000 loaves of bread against a daily national 
requirement of 1,6 million.

A standard loaf of bread is selling for US$1.  Zimbabwe imports most of its 
wheat following the collapse of the agriculture sector. — KUDZAI CHIMHANGWA
