Mama’s peanut butter maker injects US$1,5m, lifts award

BY BUSINESS REPORTER
LEADING agro-processor, Associated Foods of Zimbabwe (AFZ,) which scooped the Most Improved Manufacturer for the Year 2021 gong at the Buy Zimbabwe 2021 awards held last week, will establish groundnuts out-grower schemes this year to guarantee throughput for its Mama’s peanut butter product range, an official said yesterday.

AFZ, whose main raw materials are agro-based, is currently running out-grower schemes for tomatoes.

“We are actively involved in agriculture running out-grower schemes for our raw materials and we are looking to implement new initiatives and products that will cater for both the local and international markets,” the company’s sales and marketing executive, Mercy Kunaka said.
