In a positive development for Zimbabwe’s agriculture sector, the Grain Marketing Board (GMB) has announced the disbursement of USD 13 million and ZWL 115 million from Treasury to pay farmers for their grain deliveries.
This move is part of a broader commitment by the government to support the farming community and boost food security through sustainable wheat production.
The payment process for farmers is already underway, with GMB expressing gratitude to farmers who continue to deliver their produce. This support underscores the government’s dedication to providing the necessary financial resources to sustain agricultural productivity. Treasury has also committed to raising additional funds to further support the payments, providing reassurance to the farming community as they prepare for the next planting season.
As Zimbabwe prioritizes wheat-based food security, GMB is urging farmers to continue delivering wheat. With the country striving to meet domestic demand and reduce reliance on imports, such efforts are vital to achieving national food security goals.
GMB’s role in the agricultural transformation agenda remains central, reflecting a renewed focus on supporting farmers and enhancing productivity across the sector.
Through these payments, the GMB aims to build trust and maintain strong partnerships with farmers, ensuring that Zimbabwe’s agriculture continues to grow as a cornerstone of the nation’s economy and food supply.
