flag Zimbabwe to enforce grain import limits from 2026, aiming for full local sourcing by 2028.

flag Zimbabwe is implementing phased import restrictions on key grains and oilseeds starting April 1, 2026, mandating 40% local sourcing with full domestic procurement by 2028, aiming to boost food sovereignty and conserve foreign currency. flag The policy, under Statutory Instrument 87 of 2025, sets dual pricing benchmarks to protect farmers and funds an Agricultural Revolving Fund. flag The country has achieved wheat self-sufficiency since 2022 and is on track to exceed its 2025 target, with production projected at 600,000 tonnes. flag Strong yields, improved farming practices, and expanded irrigation support this progress. flag However, concerns persist over high breakeven costs and low average yields, with experts warning that elevated grain prices may hurt regional competitiveness despite government incentives.
