THE Agricultural Marketing Authority (AMA) has suspended all maize imports.
In a statement on Thursday, AMA chief executive officer Mr Clever Isaya said grain millers will have to buy the crop from the Grain Marketing Board (GMB).
“The Agricultural Marketing Authority wishes to advise all grain millers and grain traders that all maize and maize meal imports are suspended with immediate effect, until further notice,” said Isaya.
“All grain millers are directed to buy their maize from the Grain Marketing Board.”
Valid import permits will be allowed to run until May 31 to allow millers to clear any grain that is in transit.
