What we are basically doing is that we are adding the list of zero-rated items as I had said earlier on to include the supply of maize flour, ordinary bread and cassava flour in the quest for cheaper cost of food. We are also zero-rating taxable goods supplied to marine fisheries and fish processors upon recommendation by relevant State departments to encourage the fishing sector. We are also zero-rating taxable inputs and raw materials in the manufacture of original pest control products in the quest to lower the cost of food."}
