In
a
statement
on
Wednesday,
1
March
2026,
GMB
said
the
funds
are
part
of
ongoing
efforts
to
ensure
farmers
are
paid
on
time
and
to
maintain
confidence
in
Zimbabwe’s
grain
marketing
system.
GMB
said:
“The
Grain
Marketing
Board
(GMB)
is
delighted
to
announce
receipt
of
ZWG
60
million
and
USD
5
million
from
the
Treasury,
representing
consecutive
disbursements
over
the
past
two
weeks,
for
timely
payments
to
farmers.“This
brings
total
cumulative
payments
for
wheat
deliveries
to
ZWG
250
million
and
USD
30
million.“This
vital
funding
brings
much-needed
relief
to
farmers.
The
support
underscores
the
Government’s
steadfast
commitment
to
agriculture,
a
key
sector
driving
Zimbabwe’s
economy.”
GMB
promises
14-30
day
payments,
but
Treasury
funding
lags
cause
delays,
eroding
farmer
confidence
in
the
official
market.
