FAQ

  • QWhat is the oil-to-edible-oil value chain in Zimbabwe?
    AZimbabwe's oilseed-to-edible-oils value chain is concentrated around three seeds: soya bean, cotton, and sunflower, which are mainly used for the production of cooking oil for household and industrial use. Given the limited quantities in local production of oilseeds, edible-oil producers make use of import markets to source oilseeds.
  • QHow does zimgold source soya beans & sunflower seeds?
    AZimgold intends to source soya beans locally during the grain marketing season, capitalizing on the locally available soya beans and sunflower seeds. However, local suppliers of soya beans and sunflower seeds prefer payments in USD, making it necessary to approach the market through a debt instrument.
  • QDo you test all your goods before delivery?
    AYes, we have 466% test before delivery.
  • QDoes zimgold produce oil cakes?

  • QWhy is zimgold a major producer of cooking oil in Zimbabwe?
    AThe limited quantities of oilseed production in Zimbabwe have resulted in the dependence on imports. Zimgold has grown rapidly and invested in multiple categories, becoming the largest producer and marketer of cooking oil in Zimbabwe.
  • QWhy does zimgold import soya beans?
    AHowever, soya bean production lags behind demand, leading to the importation of soya beans/soya meal from Zambia, Malawi, and South Africa. Zimgold intends to source soya beans locally during the grain marketing season, capitalizing on the locally available soya beans and sunflower seeds.
