Unlike in the prior year and previous years, forex shortage was not tight as is the case right now. Zimbabwe’s main imports are goods meant for consumption purposes and top of the list are goods such as fuel, wheat and medical drugs. The major foreign currency earning products include minerals such as gold, diamonds and ferrochrome, as well as tobacco. *More: Chronicle* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
