Millers import Canadian wheat

ZIMBABWE will in two weeks complete a deal with Canadian wheat suppliers for 290 000 metric tonnes of wheat from the North American country up to December 2019.

The deal followed a recent visit to Canada by a Grain Millers Association of Zimbabwe (GMAZ) delegation led by the association’s chairman, Tafadzwa Musarara in search of wheat supplies as supplements for national reserves have been depleting.

Addressing journalists in the capital, Musarara said the deal with the Canadian suppliers will be completed in two weeks once transportation logistics have been ironed out with the National Railways of Zimbabwe.
