HARARE: Millers will import 100 000 tonnes of maize from Tanzania following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between their representative body, Grain Millers Association and a grain trading company from that country.
GMAZ, represented by its national chairman Tafadzwa Musarara signed the MOU with Tanzania registered AIFU International Limited which was represented by its director Sandra Mohammed Nassor. Mr Musarara, who boasts more than 20 years experience in the grain milling sector, was in Tanzania to negotiate maize imports into Zimbabwe.
Zambia, which used to be a major exporter of maize to Zimbabwe, has since stopped shipment to its neighbour citing inadequate supplies. That has forced grain processors to look elsewhere for maize. According to the terms of the MOU seen by The Herald Business, each party shall procure, on its own behalf or on behalf of its members, all requisite statutory permits and licences for the facilitation of movement and payment of the maize.
