The author has more problems with her math than just where to put zeros; $270 million a day for 9,000 litres of milk is $30,000 per liter. Gasoline isn't even that high....

Gasoline is definitely that high, and higher, in Zim dollars.

That is, if you can manage to hoard enough petrol to get across the border to SA or Moz to fill up your tank as there is none to be had in Zim except for Zanu PF party cadre, the police and the army.

BTW that has to be the farm gate price for milk, not the retail proce. The Zim dollar is trading at over Z$70,000.00 to US$1.00
