butcheries and meat processing companies in Chinhoyi have reduced beef prices, which had nearly doubled in recent weeks. One of the country’s biggest retail outlets, Texas Meats, is now charging $4,60 per kilogramme for economy beef from $5,70 last week. A snap survey carried out by The Herald on Monday revealed that butcheries in Gadzema and Cold Stream, which were charging more than $9 per kg, had also reduced prices to around $6 per kg.

But big retailers such as OK and TM supermarkets still maintained their original prices ranging from $8 to $9 per kg. A restaurant owner, Mr Peter Dube, cheered the new meat prices, saying this will positively impact on his business.
