admindepot is expected to increase the availability of affordable locally produced and packaged foodstuffs to wholesalers and retailers in the border town and surrounding areas.
The products that are currently available at the depot include Red Seal maize meal, both the Roller Meal and Pearlenta brands, Gloria flour, Red Seal self-raising flour, Mahatma rice, Red Seal rice,
Homepride cooking oil and a full range of stockfeeds.
The depot is selling these and many other products at the best possible wholesale price. Although it is a wholesale depot, wholesalers and retailers can purchase goods there.
“Previously, with retailers having to bring in our goods from cities elsewhere the cost of transport tended to be passed onto consumers. Now, with a depot in the town, there are no transport costs for retailers where our products are concerned,” a National Foods spokesperson said.
“Our decision to establish a depot in Beitbridge was a response to the demand for our products there.
“It should also enable Beitbridge residents, who have often relied on imported goods, to purchase locally produced or packaged goods at prices that compare favourably with their imported equivalents.”
National Foods depots are not only sales points but collection points for raw materials used in the production of various foodstuffs. Depots also buy agricultural produce from local farmers.
