Government slashes price of mealie meal

Zimbabwe’s government has followed through on President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s promise to restore subsidies by slashing the price of maize.

A 10kg bag of roller meal had shot up to over $100 and will now retail for under 50% of that:

the new subsidy model will, therefore, target the production of roller meal resulting in the retail price of ZWL$50 for a 10 kg bag.

The government has said it will ensure that the requisite monthly tonnage of 40 000MT required for producing 32 000MT of roller meal will be timely availed by GMB to members of the Grain Millers Association of Zimbabwe (GMAZ).
