In 2022, Zimbabwe registered its largest wheat harvest, 375 000 tonnes, making the country self-sufficient.

The harvest in 2022 was 13% higher than the previous year, breaking a half-century-old record.

Zimbabwe has been one of the few African countries to attain self-sufficiency in wheat production.
