Chombe Foods has launched new products which will see the company diversifying from tea production to break into new markets to offer products such as sugar, rice and tomato ketchup.<\/p>\n
Chombe foods General Manager, Grecium Thomas, said a market research the company conducted showed that there was a gap on the market and that the new products will help to fill that gap.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur rice will hit the local market mid this month, while the other products will come later on. We are still discussing with relevant authorities so that they certify the sugar and the ketchup. We have done all the necessary procedures but what remains is for the authorities to give us a green light,\u201d said Thomas.<\/p>\n
He further said the company will not compromise quality hence Malawians should expect high quality standard goods.<\/p>\n
Thomas also hinted that the company will be value adding locally produced tomatoes into ketchup.<\/p>\n
\u201cChombe would like to complement the government\u2019s efforts in terms of value addition. We will be processing locally produced tomatoes which we will be buying from local farmers into ketchup. We believe by value addition, Chombe will be uplifting the lives of the farmers economically and also put to full usage of the tomatoes that are normally thrown away as they easily get bad,\u201d said Thomas.<\/p>\n
He also said the products will be available in all shops across the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur target is Malawians of all walks of life. We have packaged the products in different sizes so that every Malawian should afford them depending on their buying power,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
