Tongaat Hulett targets to increase sugar output

TONGAAT Hulett says it expects to increase sugar output by 7% during the financial year to March 2025 after record lows recorded last year.

Managing director Tendai Masawi revealed this during a media tour in Chiredzi on Friday last week, adding that its Zimbabwean operations were recovering from production challenges.

He said some of the challenges included bad weather, currency volatility, inflation and a lack of critical spares for mills, resulting in unscheduled stoppages.
