The company has however said it is working to bring back normalcy in its operations.
“We are working across the value chain to improve supply of raw materials and availability of finished products,” said Mr Mapaya.
The company is still operating at full capacity despite challenges in accessing foreign currency for raw materials.
The feed products will only be available at Profeeds retail outlets across the country.

It has the biggest chicken-feed in the country and has partnered up with Zimbabwe’s largest chicken producers to target small-to-medium chicken farmers.
