The Grain Marketing Board (GMB) has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting farmers and ensuring national food security by disbursing an additional US$5 million for wheat deliveries this week. This brings the total wheat payments made so far to US$23 million and ZWG215 million—a significant show of financial mobilisation at a critical time as the country prepares for the winter wheat cropping season.
This financial injection not only highlights the Treasury’s ongoing efforts to mobilise and release funds but also comes as a strong vote of confidence in the agricultural sector’s resilience. As wheat remains a strategic crop in the national food security matrix, timely payments are crucial to sustaining farmer confidence and maintaining production momentum.

Book NowThe move by GMB is also a recognition of the relentless commitment of Zimbabwean farmers, whose resilience and hard work continue to drive the country toward self-sufficiency in wheat production. Over the past years, government-led initiatives, policy alignment, and increased farmer participation have combined to shift Zimbabwe from being a net wheat importer to an emerging wheat-secure nation.
With the global wheat supply facing frequent disruptions due to geopolitical and climatic challenges, Zimbabwe’s push for self-reliance in staple crop production stands out as both strategic and sustainable. The latest payment announcement reinforces GMB’s role not just as a buyer of produce, but as a key enabler of economic stability and food sovereignty.
As winter wheat planting gets underway, the message is clear—Zimbabwe is on a focused path toward food security, with strong institutions, committed farmers, and active financial backing all playing their part. For further clarifications, the GMB has availed its Corporate Communications Department for public inquiries.
This proactive communication and transparent approach reflect a broader culture of accountability and readiness, essential traits for any nation serious about delivering “Food Security: Everywhere. Everyday.”
