🌾 Zimbabwe Tightens Grain & Oilseed Imports Under New Regulation

Zimbabwe has taken a bold step to boost its agricultural value chain. Through Statutory Instrument 87 of 2025, the government now requires millers, stockfeed producers, and food manufacturers to source at least 40% of their raw materials locally by April 2026, with a target of 100% localisation by 2028.

The regulation not only guarantees local farmers a secure market but also shields the nation from global price shocks with mechanisms like dual pricing and the Agricultural Revolving Fund.

With a bumper harvest of 2.9 million tonnes of cereals already in hand, Zimbabwe is signalling confidence in its ability to feed itself and build stronger, more resilient food systems.

The move aims to stimulate Zimbabwe’s agricultural value chain by guaranteeing local farmers an assured market for their grains and oilseeds.

Die aanplantingsvordering in die hoof mielieproduserende state van die Verenigde State van Amerika (VSA), uitgedruk as persentasies van die totale mielieproduksie ("corn"), word hier vergelyk met die 5-jaar-gemiddelde. Die huidige vordering (in hakkies) toon die verskil teenoor dié gemiddelde.

· Iowa [18%]: 97% (0%)
· Illinois [16%]: 93% (0%)
· Minnesota [10%]: 99% (+4%)
· Nebraska [10%]: 98% (+1%)

Probleemstate in die mieliegordel ("corn belt"):
· Indiana [7%]: 86% (-4%)
· Ohio [5%]: 72% (-15%)

Plaaslik het ons die nuutste leweringsyfers ontvang tot en met 30 Mei 2025, met persentasie van NOK in hakkies:

Wit- en geelmielies
· Witmielies:825,462 mt (11%)
· Geelmielies:1,315,039 mt (19%)
· Totale mielies: 2,140,501 mt (15%)

Oliesade (Sojabone & Sonneblom)
· Sojabone: 2,190,955 mt (93.99%)
· Sonneblom: 459,938 mt (63.2%)

Die volgende is gelewer per graad:
Witmielies (WM)
· WM1: 684,147 mt (83%)
· WM2: 116,961 mt (14%)
· WM3: 23,145 mt (3%)

Geelmielies (YM)
· YM1: 1,243,450 mt (95%)
· YM2: 63,530 mt (5%)
· YM3: 3,144 mt (0.2%)

Huidiglik is daar prysrisiko op:

- Sojabone, waar ons reeds 93.99% van die NOK gelewer het en die tempo nou stadiger begin word, word 'n groter oes moontlik. 'n Groter oes kan uitvoere stimuleer, wat laer pryse as gevolg kan hê – die mark druk na uitvoerpariteit.
- Witmielies – dit is nog te vroeg om te sê, maar graad kan moontlik 'n groot probleem word. Dus kan WM1 later in die jaar redelik waardevol raak.
- Geelmielies – nog net een skip is geboek vir invoere; daar moet nog ten minste 11/12 skepe ingevoer word om die mieliebalansstaat deur te trek volgens die NOK se oesskatting.

Met die USD/ZAR wat verhandel teen 17.78, is indekse soos volg:
· Mielies: -10
· Sojabone: -5
· Koring: +54

PODCAST: Southern Africa’s grain production rebounds

Favourable weather boosts regional harvests, easing food inflation and restoring maize exports
by Wandile Sihlobo

Southern Africa’s staple grain production has made a remarkable turnaround. With Zambia’s maize harvest rebounding from 1.5 Mt to an expected 3.66 Mt, and South Africa projected to produce 14.66 Mt—well above its domestic needs—the region is poised to ease food price pressures and bolster export surpluses. Encouraging reports from Zimbabwe point to improved yields after last season’s drought, signalling a positive shift for food security across the subcontinent.
