Zimbabwe: Grain and Feed Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Zimbabwe experienced one of its driest seasons since the 1992/93-season, due to a strong El-Nino induced drought. As a result, corn production in the 2016/17 MY declined by an estimated 43 percent to 400,000 tons. This is after an estimated 700,000 tons of corn was produced in the 2015/16 MY. Zimbabwe will have to import an estimated 1.4 million tons of corn in the 2016/17 MY to meet the production shortfall. Prospects for wheat production in Zimbabwe are also gloomy and production in the 2016/17 MY is estimated to reach only about 16,000 tons. Hence, Zimbabwe’s wheat imports are forecast to reach about 280,000 tons in 2016/17 MY.
