The Zimbabwe Chemical Refiners has increased its capacity utilisation to more than 55 percent, producing 30 tonnes of road tar a day against the country’s daily consumption of 10 tonnes.
The firm is now exporting pitch and creosote to Zambia and South Africa, among other international markets. Zimchem general manager, Tendai Shoko, said the company is currently exporting 1 000 tonnes of pitch to South Africa, 600 tonnes of furnace fuels, and 500 tonnes of creosote to Zambia for timber treatment on a monthly basis.
The government has since pledged to capacitate industry for the country to become an upper-middle-income society by the year 2030. Midlands Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Honourable Owen Ncube, said the refurbishment of the tar manufacturing plant is now complete and the company is also manufacturing tar for domestic use on roads and exporting the same to neighbouring countries.
