Frostline Solutions works closely with the University of Zimbabwe. They provide on-the-job training and have worked with more than 15 Food Technology interns from the university, plus other institutions.
Challenges They Are Facing
Frostline Solutions’ major challenge for the past 2 years has been COVID-19. Their business has been disrupted by repeated lockdowns and travel restrictions. This has also been worsened by electricity blackouts; this has often slowed down orders.
Their second major challenge is capital constraints. They have found it difficult to have increased stock and keep it due to very limited capital investment. This has been exacerbated by the inability to access bank loans due to numerous currency-related changes.
The other challenge is Intellectual Property (IP) violations. This has been a major blow to progress and growth.
