The Agricultural Marketing Authority (AMA) has announced 11 registered contractors for the 2021 winter wheat season.
In a statement, AMA chief executive officer Mr Clever Isaya said the contractors had met the requirements to be wheat buyers in accordance with the AMA Act.
“The authority wishes to announce that the following are the registered contracts for the 2021 winter wheat cropping season,” he said.
“These contractors have met all the requirements to be wheat buyers for the season in accordance with the provisions of the Agricultural Marketing Authority Act (Chapter 18:24), Statutory Instrument 140 of 2013.
“The contractors are as follows: Central Millers(Pvt) Ltd, Agripeak Incorporated, Grainco, Northern Farming, Cicada farming, Staywell trading, Paperhole Investments, Finance Aid, Semegal trading, Framond Trading and Chiseller Services.”
In 2020, Zimbabwe tripled its wheat output after producing over 250 000 tonnes of the cereal, which was adequate to cover nine months’ supply, saving the country at least US$100 million through import substitution.
The country requires at least 400 000 tonnes of wheat annually to meet demand.
