PLANS by an Iranian firm Souts, which manufactures farming machinery, to launch three dairy processing plants in the country have reached an advanced stage, an official said last week. Iranian Ambassador Mohammad Pournajaf said negotiations with the ministries of Agriculture and Foreign Affairs to establish the dairy plants had been completed.

He said the location and size of the plants had been determined and the project was expected to be completed in the next six months.

“Following the visit by our Head of State Mahmoud Ahmadinejad earlier this year, a lot of projects were agreed on and this is one of them.
“Souts, one of our firms which manufactures machinery for agriculture, will be installing three dairy processing plants in Zimbabwe within the next six months. With this project we hope to improve the dairy supply in the country and at the same time improve the bilateral relations as has been the case with Motira tractors,” he said.
