ZIMBABWE’S government expects to take delivery of 300 000 tons of corn this month to boost national reserves following a drought that reduced its harvest.
“The government of Zimbabwe has dispatched 53 826 metric tons of grain under the social welfare program,” Information Minister Jenfan Muswere told reporters in the capital, Harare on Tuesday.
The private sector has imported 168 000 metric tons of maize and 17 000 metric tons of wheat since April, Muswere said. He did not disclose where the corn due for delivery was sourced from. © 2024 Bloomberg
