GMAZ, the Grain Millers Association of Zimbabwe, has purchased 100,000 tons of maize from South Africa and Brazil. The first shipment of the cargo is due to arrive in the country next week. According to the president of GMAZ, Tafadzwa Musara, the corn was acquired through free funds, after a decision made by the government in December 2019 to allow the country’s mills to do so. “The country’s current demand for corn is 80,000 tons,” he said.
