The Zimbabwean government has capped the importation of fertilizer and cement at five metric tons per individual or company, with those above the set limit required to obtain government approval.
This follows government approval for individuals and companies with free funds to import the two commodities that are in short supply on the market. The importation arrangement will be in force until Dec. 31 this year, Industry and Commerce Minister Sithembiso Nyoni said in a statement Wednesday.
