Zimbabwe GMB Announces Higher Producer Prices for Summer Crops

Grain Marketing Board (GMB) has announced producer prices for maize, traditional grains, soya bean, and sunflower for the 2026/27 summer cropping season.

The prices reflect the high cost of production in Zimbabwe, with the GMB chief executive Dr Edison Badarai stating that government had set the incentive producer floor marketing price for wheat at US$531.93 per tonne and incentive planning prices for the summer season.

Commercial farmers welcomed the announcement, but expressed concern over the possible challenge resulting from millers importing part of their raw materials, making it difficult for local farmers to compete with imports from neighboring countries.
