GRAIN Millers Association of Zimbabwe (GMAZ) says its members have started to import maize to bolster national stocks ahead of the expected El Niño-induced drought.
Normal to below-normal rainfall is expected in the 2023-24 summer season, which is expected to impact the production of major crops such as wheat, tobacco and maize.
GMAZ chairman Tafadzwa Musarara told The Financial Gazette that the grain milling industry petitioned the government to allow for maize imports to start now to ensure they shore up the national stocks.
