Dairibord forex sales volumes jump 186pc.

Dairibord Holdings limited, Zimbabwe’s biggest dairy processor, says its volumes sold in foreign currency grew by 186 percent in the first quarter to March 31, 2022, driven by measures the company undertook to enhance foreign currency generation. The Zimbabwe Stock Exchange listed company said this saw foreign currency acquired volumes account for 40 percent of the firm’s total volume for the period under review, up from 17 percent recorded over the same period in 2021. Out of Dairibord’s 40 percent sales volumes sold in foreign currency, 32 percent were realised from domestic sales, up from 13 percent in 2021 while exports contributed eight percent. The out-turn during the quarter to March drove Dairibord’s overall foreign currency revenues to improve by 182 percent. “The business maintained the focus on foreign currency generation to improve the capacity to procure raw and packaging materials. Resultantly, volumes sold in foreign currency grew 186 percent,” said Dairibord in its quarterly trading update to March 2022. In the period under review, Dairibord’s total sales volumes grew to 23 million litres which were 17 percent ahead of 2021 volumes while foods and beverages uptake improved by 29 and 31 percent respectively.
