ZIMBABWE plans to cut its wheat import bill by US$138 million this year as the country is expecting a significant harvest from the winter crop.

The country has set a target of 340 000 tonnes of wheat from 66 000 hectares.

Last year, 250 000 tonnes were produced against an annual requirement of 400 000 tonnes. Production of the crop is being supported from the Government-guaranteed CBZ Agro-Yield programme, private contractors, and the Presidential Winter Wheat Scheme.

Early harvest of the winter crop, he said, will ensure that planting of the summer crop is done on time.

Grain Millers Association of Zimbabwe chairperson Mr Tafadzwa Musarara said interventions undertaken by Government will ensure that the country continues to record bumper harvests.
