Zimbabwe’s main bread producer has warned it only has two days’ supply of flour, state media have reported. The company, Lobels Bread, said a flour shortage had already forced it to scale back its operations by 80 percent. Reports say 36,000 tonnes of imported wheat are blocked in a Mozambican port owing to foreign exchange shortages. A foreign currency crisis caused inflation to rise to 7,638 percent in July. Government price controls have been blamed for worsening shortages. (BBC)
