We’ve enough grain reserves: GMB

THE Grain Marketing Board (GMB) says the country has sufficient grain reserves to see it through to next year’s harvest.
This comes as the government has said marketing of grain during the 2022/23 season will be geared towards the revised target of 1,5 million metric tonnes, up from 500 000 metric tonnes.
“We are talking about maize and traditional grains. They form our basic strategic grain reserve. We have 566 000 metric tonnes set aside as strategic grain reserves.

“This is going to take us to the next harvest without any fear at all,” GMB chief executive Rockie Mutenha told The Financial Gazette on the sidelines of the Zimbabwe Institute of Strategic Thinking annual conference in Kariba las
