THE Grain Millers Association of Zimbabwe (GMAZ) says it has managed to secure 400 000 metric tonnes (mt) of maize from Zambia and Malawi to beef up local reserves, as the country faces a reduced grain output.
This comes as the Cabinet in February this year allowed private grain millers to import maize using free funds to supplement local stocks.
“The decision is prudent as it enhances national food security in light of the degeneration of geo-politics in the grain farming regions of Eastern Europe.
