Zimbabwe: Grain and Feed Annual

Following the challenging corn crop in the 2024/25 marketing year due to severe drought conditions, Zimbabwe's corn production is projected to more than double in the 2025/26 marketing year, benefiting from more favorable weather conditions. The Presidential Inputs Scheme has played a crucial role in supporting smallholder farmers by providing subsidized agricultural inputs, significantly contributing to an anticipated increase in production. Despite this improvement in local production, Zimbabwe is anticipated to continue importing corn, with imports expected to begin in the latter part of the 2025/26 marketing year. Corn ending stock levels are anticipated to stabilize around the mandated reserve levels.
