Zimbabwe says it is on track to build strategic grain reserves ranging from 550,945 to 964,945 tonnes after a strong agricultural season. Agriculture Minister Anxious Masuka made the statement while presenting the 2025/26 Summer Crops Marketing and the 2026 Winter Production Plan in Harare. The government’s plan aims to increase stored grain capacity to act as a buffer against future food shortages. According to the accounts, the projected reserve levels reflect expected supplies from both summer crops marketing activities and winter production for 2026, indicating continued planning across seasons rather than relying on a single harvest. The two reports align on the key figures and the purpose of the reserves, describing the move as part of Zimbabwe’s efforts to strengthen national food security through stockpiling. No additional details on the funding, procurement mechanisms, or specific crop types are included in the excerpts provided, but both sources describe the same forecast and policy objective.
