The industry needs consistent allocations to fund the importation of raw materials and finished products with a bias towards the promotion of local production to ensure import substitution and also exports into the region. Zimbabwe currently imports between 70% and 80% of its pharmaceutical requirements. Pharmaceutical Wholesalers’ Association (PWA) chairperson Kuda Chapfika said: > Most of our lines of credit have been cut due to non-payment and the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe has not allocated us any foreign currency in three months. We are now at the mercy of our suppliers. *More: Newsday* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
