\u201cThe destruction of our raw materials will not have been much if government agencies had supported us with foreign exchange and favourable business environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs it, most of the raw materials were destroyed because they were lying in the warehouse unused with other tomato paste that have yet to be sold.\u201d<\/p>\n

He urged regulatory agencies to support local manufacturers in a bid to stimulate the economic growth desired by government.<\/p>\n
