ZIMBABWE’S BAKERS NOW DIVERT bread to parallel market from the official market by creating cartels of their sales representatives and vendors

ZIMBABWE’S BAKERS NOW DIVERT bread to parallel market from the official market by creating cartels of their sales representatives and vendors who sell the scarce basic commodity on the streets of the capital Harare city for exorbitant prices of anything between $5 and $6 a loaf while most supermarkets and registered tuckshops no longer sell bread because of this illicit practice.

Salespersons who deliver bread early in the morning regularly offload their deliveries to the black market, instead of the shops,and they go on to sell the bread between $4 and $4,50 per loaf which will then be sold by the black market traders for an average of $5 to $6 a loaf while most bakeries now officially sell bread to retailers for $3,65 a loaf even though the increase has yet to be announced.

The salespersons sell the bread to the illegal vendors at up to $4, 50 a loaf, then pocket the difference. Consumers are forced to buy a loaf of bread at $6 cash from the vendors.

Pictured here, is a delivery van belonging to Proton Bakery in St Mary’s in Chitungwiza, delivering to selected vendors who immediately display the bread for sae at extortionate prices on their open markets outside convenient shops, whose bread shelves are empty. Sibusiso Ngwenya-herald
