THE Grain Marketing Board (GMB) has announced the summer crops and winter wheat incentive planning prices as the grain marketing season started on Tuesday.
In an X post, GMB said maize and traditional grains will be bought at US$376, 48 per tonne, soya bean at US$580 and sunflower at US$668, 98 per tonne.
The winter wheat incentive planning price has been set at US$451, 35 per tonne.
Last year, producer prices were pegged at US$390 per tonne for maize and traditional grains, US$713 per tonne for sunflower and US$620 per tonne for soya bean.
The GMB will primarily purchase produce from farmers financed under the Presidential Input Programme (PIP) and irrigation schemes.
Some farmers have started harvesting their summer crops.
