The Grain Marketing Board (GMB) will commission a US$30 million stock feed plant in November this year to expand its income base under an ongoing commercialization programme. Speaking at the ongoing Harare Agricultural Show, GMB corporate communications officer Mr Joseph Katete said the parastatal is embracing entrepreneurial initiatives to ensure food security and income generation.
Mr Katete said the new plant is expected to ease current bottlenecks in the supply of stock feeds for a variety of livestock including cattle, goats, sheep, pigs and ostriches.
The plant will have a capacity to produce 10 tonnes of stock feed per hour and comes at time when GMB has separated its commercial activities from its strategic grain reserve function.
