HARARE – The Grain Millers Association of Zimbabwe (GMAZ) says it is owed more than $120m by government for roller meal subsidy refunds dating back from last December.
This, the association says, was affecting constant supply of roller meal.
In a statement, GMAZ spokesperson Garikai Chaunza said: “We are, however, waiting for a review of the price of roller meal subsidy from the government so that we pump the product into the market and hope to improve the supply of the commodity within the next 30 days.”
This price increase comes as Government reviewed the maize producer price to $6 958 per tonne from $4 000/t previously.
The millers said so far they had to import 10 000 tonnes of maize from South Africa.
“The efforts have been made possible by the government which has given us the opportunity to import,” he said. ivermectin in ethiopia
