Majority shareholders of Dairibord Holdings, controlling a 51 percent stake in the dairy processor, have announced plans to sell their shares. The move comes as the company prepares to migrate its listing to the US dollar-denominated Victoria Falls Stock Exchange (VFEX), according to a report by The Herald.
Nelson Gahadza, Senior Business Reporter, broke the story, indicating that the sell-off could signal a shift in the company’s ownership structure at a pivotal moment. The planned transfer to VFEX is intended to provide a more stable trading environment amid Zimbabwe’s currency volatility.
Market analysts are watching closely, as the exit of majority owners could attract new investors or lead to a change in corporate strategy. Dairibord is one of Zimbabwe’s largest dairy processors, and its move to VFEX is seen as a vote of confidence in the exchange.
The development raises questions about the future direction of the company and the dairy sector at large. Stakeholders await further details on the timeline and potential buyers.
