The Grain Marketing Board (GMB) has announced pre-planting prices for the 2024/25 summer season.

This announcement, made by GMB chief executive officer Edson Badarai, represents a decrease from the June 2024 prices of US$390 per tonne for maize and traditional grains, and US$713 per tonne for sunflower.

The soya bean price also shows a slight decrease from the previous US$620 per tonne.

GMB has a history of delayed payments to farmers, undermining their financial stability and hindering their ability to plan for future planting seasons.

This issue was starkly illustrated during the 2022/23 winter wheat season when millions of dollars in payments were outstanding, leading to a standoff between the GMB and affected farmers.

The delays were attributed to a vetting process designed to prevent side-marketing, but this measure caused considerable frustration and hardship among farmers.
