“The board continues to implement strategies meant to improve service delivery to customers in fulfilment of its mandate to ensure food security,” he said
He said GMB was trying to find ways of paying US$1,7 million it owes farmers.
“The GMB owes US$1,7 million to farmers for their 2012 grain deliveries. We are making efforts to ensure that the farmer obligations are duly cleared.”
GMB general manager Mr Albert Mandizha said the 17 stacker machines cost US$300 000 and would be distributed to 17 depots.
“The following depots will receive the equipment: Wedza, Doma, Mamina, Mhondoro, Mudzimu,Vuti, Beitbridge, Filabusi, Lusulu, Lupane, Chivi, Gokwe, Nembudziya, Chendambuya, Dewedzo, Mutare Grain and Timber Mills.”
He said the rubber stacker machines were more efficient and safer than chain stacker machines.
“The operation of the rubber conveyor machine is silent as compared to a noisy chain conveyor machine.
The belt conveyor machine is a lot safer to use than the chain system which resulted in accidents of fingers being trapped by chains,” he said.
