In June last year, Japan, through the World Food Programme (WFP), also donated 30 000 tonnes of maize to assist the vulnerable communities in Zimbabwe. The Japanese Embassy, WFP, and the Government of Zimbabwe indicated in a joint statement Monday that WFP procured the maize from South Africa and delivered it directly to the Grain Marketing Board depots in Harare and Bulawayo. Zimbabwe has been importing maize from neighboring countries and others like Brazil. Observers say Zimbabwe has since the fast track land reform programme two decades ago has been failing to produce enough grain to meet the local demand let alone to export. Zimbabwe used to be the breadbasket of the SADC region and would supply European markets. While some blame corruption and the haphazard nature through which the land reform programme was implemented, the government blames climate change and sanctions on the country which resulted in “foreign funding being cut.” More: The Herald _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
