Zimbabwe's platinum output is expected to rise this year on the back of increased production at the country's platinum mines.

According to Platinum 2013, a report by Johnson Mathey PLC, Zimbabwe would benefit from reduced production in South Africa.

"There is no sign of any intent by the mines' South African parent companies to alter their production plans in this relatively low-cost mining area," the company said.

The challenges within South Africa's platinum industry has seen production going down and this could present Zimbabwe with an opportunity to export more platinum.
