Zimbabwe runs out of cooking oil again

There is once again growing uneasiness in the market as the country has been hit by another shortage of cooking oil, which retailers blame on oil manufacturing companies – who are said to be selectively supplying a few “favoured” outlets.

At the same time, the Oil Expressers Association of Zimbabwe (OEAZ) – a grouping of seven producers who supply 95 percent of the country’s edible oils – has in return accused retailers of unjustifiably increasing the price of cooking oil to consumers.
