Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Grain Marketing Board (GMB) has said it has paid ZWL$6.56 billion and US$10.5 million for grain deliveries made by farmers.<\/p>\n

GMB chief executive Rockie Mutenha told The Herald that nearly 128 000 tonnes of maize have been delivered, but more farmers were still delivering. He said:<\/p>\n

More farmers are coming to deliver their maize at our depots and we have also been making timeous payments to them.<\/p>\n

As of September 6, we had received 127 835 tonnes of maize from farmers.<\/p>\n

In terms of payments so far we have paid farmers an amount of $6.56 billion and US$10.5 million.<\/p>\n

Mutenha also said farmers have so far delivered 24 026 tonnes of traditional grains to GMB.<\/p>\n

He, however, urged farmers to work together with GMB officers stationed at each depot to improve moisture content as some maize was being delivered with a lot of moisture.<\/p>\n

GMB is paying ZWL$100 000 plus US$90 for a tonne of maize.<\/p>\n
