Zimbabwe produced over 465 000 tonnes of wheat in the 2023 winter wheat season, thereby surpassing the previous record of 375 000 tonnes attained in 2022.
The country requires about 360 000 tonnes of wheat for national consumption annually and this month this year’s winter wheat crop is 100 000 tonnes more than national demand.
Speaking to The Sunday Mail, the chief director responsible for agricultural engineering, mechanisation, post-harvest agro-processing and soil conservation in the Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development, Engineer Edwin Zimunga, said:
We can safely say wheat harvesting is complete. From the mechanisation view, we are now shifting focus to land preparation for the summer cropping season.
Government’s investment in wheat production continues to pay off handsomely, as farmers have successfully harvested over 465 000 tonnes, representing a new record in wheat production.
We have reason to celebrate as our farmers really answered the call from the Government to fight for food security. It is clear that the initiatives are yielding results.
The high wheat output is expected to lead to a decline in prices for basics like bread, pasta and pastries as flour is a major ingredient.
Zimbabwe produces what is called soft wheat which is typically milled into flour and used to make a wide range of foods, including bread, muffins, noodles, pasta, biscuits, cakes, cookies, pastries and cereal bars.
Grain Millers Association of Zimbabwe (GMAZ) chairperson Tafadzwa Musarara told The Sunday Mail that the country could export some of the soft wheat in return for only 30 percent hard wheat to meet the market standards of bread.
Zimbabwe has surpassed its winter wheat output target for the second successive season and this has been attributed to favourable pre-planting producer prices, uninterrupted electricity and water supply for irrigation.
Prior to the winter season, Government set a pre-planting producer price of US$520 per tonne of wheat.
Part of the money is paid in foreign currency, while the Zimbabwe dollar component is paid at the prevailing interbank rate.

Zuze 

@LPG, you are much safer that way.  It saves you developing hypertension because half of the donated wheat is going to DDK Bakery in Que Que (and you know who owns it). The balance will go to Tafadzwa Musarara and his GMAZ outfit so they can make profit from the donation. The povo will not benefit one iota from that donation. 

As for 10 tones of fertiliser,  haaaa iyo ndeyekuSherwood farm chete iyo.

This rotten stinking contaminated poisonous wheat was meant to be given Ukraine prisoners of war and Russia opposition leader Navanly now that he is dead better send it to Zimbabwe 

Russia was always going to honout it's promise. It now remains to see what happens with the donation. Let us all hope that half of the donation is not going to a farm just outside Kwekwe !!!!!

EHE ICHO !!!!!

Very valid observation. 

All recipients are despotic authoritarian dictatorships. 

Bhuru

Russia is trying to make inroads into Africa using dirty means, look at the countries who benefited they are all under military juntas in one way or another, cry my beloved Africa

donation is just a word placed as a placeholder of another word so that the real statement can be accepted.

what are the conditions for this donation.Will Russia also take minerals?

Ko madonations aya achasvika kuvanhu or achaperera ku mhuri yaEmmerson.

the last time we heard ""Zimbabwe produced more wheat than required for local consumption" same season we a receiving donations of the same staff. a case of Maratya kuHwange🤣🤣🤣 there's a story behind the story

So we had a bumper disgrace. How do you grow wheat that is the wrong type? Was the seed suppliers or farmers incompetent. There needs to be accountability.

Zimbabwe has taken delivery of part of Russia’s 25 000 metric tonne wheat donation and an additional 10 tonnes of fertiliser, reported <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/zimbabwe-takes-delivery-of-25-tonne-wheat-donation-from-russia/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>.
The donation is part of Russia’s 200 000 metric tonne aid to six African countries including Mali, Burkina Faso, Eritrea and Central African Republic (CAR) which was announced at last year’s Russia-Africa Summit.
The Deputy Minister of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development, Vangelis Haritatos said President Emmerson Mnangagwa will be officially handing over the donation to his ministry and GMB once all of it has been delivered.
Haritatos was speaking at Grain Marketing Board’s (GMB) Aspindale Depot in Harare on Friday. He said:
<blockquote>
Everything is in order, we are very happy with what we are seeing today, and everything seems like it is going very well.
We are very grateful to the Russian Federation for donating such a substantial amount of wheat stock.
The donation was 25 000 metric tonnes of wheat so we are almost there but we are expecting a few more trucks to come in from Beira and once we receive the wheat we are expecting President Mnangagwa to do the official handover.
The consignment started arriving a few weeks ago and we are only left with a few hundred tonnes for this consignment to reach 25 000.
The next consignment is the MRP and the NPK, so we are almost at the end of receiving both consignments of this donation.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe has had two record-breaking seasons in the production of winter wheat and produced more than what the nation consumes.
However, the wheat produced locally cannot be used by confectioneries without being blended with imports from countries such as Russia.
