Abstract:
Purpose: This study sought to explore the practice of good corporate governance to promote the sustainable development of the Grain Marketing Board. Theoretical framework: The extent to which public entities such as parastatals uphold basic corporate governance tenets to ensure sustainable development is critical for economic growth, stability, and attraction of investment capital. Yet the Grain Marketing Board (GMB) in Zimbabwe appears to be grappling with a myriad of challenges affecting its performance, sustainable development and food security. The net effect of how it is run exposes it to administrative ills like theft, cronyism, manipulation, nepotism, corruption, and human capital abuse. Methodology: A qualitative research method was used through document analysis and a literature survey. This included an analysis of policy documents, articles from newspapers, the internet, interviews, journal articles, expert reports, and GMB depot field visits. Findings: It was revealed that excessive government interference militates against the GMB’s profitable activities. Practical and social Implications: The board is not wholly empowered owing to various competing organizational interests, for instance, the paucity of board autonomy, the inadequacy of board capacity development and training programs, corruption, and board remuneration among others. Originality: The value of the study is to provide a raft of recommendations for policy and paradigm shift is provided to revamp the GMB to foster sustainable development.

Abstract:
White maize sadza is the most eaten food in Zimbabwe. Yet, over the decade of the 2000s, its consumption was threatened by drought and consequent acute food shortages. Small grains - sorghum and millet - offered a panacea to looming starvation and civil unrest. Yet, as we argue in this article, its access became rooted increasingly within political contestations between the ruling ZANU PF government, the budding opposition party and ordinary citizens. Using the story of small grains -sorghum and millet - between 2000 and 2010, we trace how food (in)security took a political form, stirring a pot of sometimes violent clashes between political and social contenders. We argue that through 'political grain', various political and social elites were able to amass wealth and power for themselves and grab control of sociopolitical discourse on food security during the crisis years. As the state imposed a series of seemingly well-intentioned and sometimes even widely welcomed food initiatives such as Operation Maguta and BACOSSI, these food security measures were often ad hoc, temporary and - as we argue - actually had an adverse long-term impact on local grain production and food availability. The government worked through key parastatals like the Grain Marketing Board and the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe to allocate resources and food support to ruling party loyalists. In this period, the ZANU PF regime was concerned primarily with holding on to its waning political power and avenues for personal wealth accumulation at the expense of food security in the country. This paper demonstrates how an anthropogenically-induced 'hunger' effectively prolonged ZANU PF's control of society - but we also show how 'small people' fought back against President Robert Mugabe's 'big men' by embracing the growing and eating of traditional 'small grains'.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to examine the socio-economic characteristics of producers who sell wheat to the Turkish Grain Board (TGB), which is an interventionist organization in the purchase and sale of grain in Türkiye, as well as some of their behaviors regarding production, marketing preferences, and their relations with TGB. The sample of the study consisted of 100 wheat producers in the Mucur district of Kırşehir province. The obtained data were interpreted by converting them into tables, cross-tabulations, and graphs. The data in the cross tables were statistically interpreted using Chi-square analysis. It can be said that producers are not satisfied with TGBs’ purchasing practices for some reasons. The most important reason for this is that quality-based purchasing practices have an extremely negative impact on prices. It was determined that they were not satisfied, and this resulted in high price reductions in quality-based purchasing, and as a result, there was distrust in analysis practices. Quality-based purchasing policy is a method that allows wheat quality characteristics to be determined with various devices in a short time. This method, which is decisive in quality classification and product pricing scale, must be explained correctly to producers. Otherwise, the producer ’s trust in the TGB may gradually decrease. This can be achieved through initiatives taken by the institution or through various publications and training activities. One of the most important results of this study is that TGBs and decision-makers are more sensitive to local producers. For decision-makers to maintain their influence on the producer, they must carefully examine the details of the processes with an inductive approach, starting from the bottom up. This situation is considered critical in terms of food security.

Abstract:
This article focuses on some of the historical innovation institutional infrastructures in Zimbabwe that supported the genesis of a vibrant maize sector, and analyses institutions for technology, policy, skills, knowledge development and attendant financing mechanisms. We discuss the country’s maize innovation ecosystems, focusing on the technological capabilities in breeding and extension services, the architecture of financial institutions to support agriculture, and bridging institutions that supported technology adoption and innovation diffusion. In the process, we highlight elements of co-evolution, co-specialisation, collaboration and linkages amongst innovation communities for maize over a period spanning the pre- and post-independence eras. Our discussion covers the uneven colonial institutional, technological and financial support availed to white commercial farmers and how the shift in focus of government policy and support post-independence, resulted in the centre of gravity shifting to communal farmers, who now contribute the bulk of maize production. We discuss the critical roles played by Agritex (a technology broker and accelerator) and a state procurement agent (the Grain Marketing Board) as a market creator and signalling tool, as well as how specialised agriculture financing by state and commercial banks supported the rise of maize as a food security crop. Our key argument is that there were focused knowledge and technology flows between government research institutions, the private sector and others, such as the Seed Maize Association, which was involved in seed multiplication and marketing to the white commercial farmers pre-independence. This relationship shifted after independence in order to support small-scale commercial farmers, who were mainly black farmers.

"Factors Influencing Smallholder Farmers’ Decisions to Participate in Loan-Based Farming in Mutare District, Zimbabwe—A Double-Hurdle Model Approach."

Abstract:
Agriculture is an important sector in Zimbabwe’s economy. More than 70% of the population are smallholders relying on agriculture. To support agriculture, Zimbabwe’s government introduced a Targeted Command Agriculture Programme (TCAP), in terms of which the state provides production inputs like seeds, fertilisers, protection chemicals, and extension services. In turn, the farmer is expected to produce 5 tonnes of maize per hectare for the Grain Marketing Board. The cost of inputs that the state provided is then deducted from the 5-tonne maize yield, and the farmer is paid the balance. Numerous authors have studied the design of TCAP and its impact on farmers. However, only a few have focused on the determinants of participation, especially with an empirical basis and in the Mutare District. To bridge this knowledge gap, this study implements a double-hurdle model to determine factors influencing farmers’ participation in Zimbabwe’s TCAP using a sample of 350 farmers. The study found that gender, family size, farmer type, command agriculture education, and distance from the market influenced smallholder farmers’ participation in TCAP. Therefore, policymakers should consider these factors to improve the design of the programme and enhance the participation of smallholder farmers in it.

Abstract:
Gapoktan Al-Barokah of Lombok Kulon, Wonosari Subdistrict, in Bondowoso Regency has started milling organic rice using husking machine thus produced raw red rice. Raw red rice is rice grain that has its husks removed. The study established that raw red rice is actually covered by hard husk which contains Phytic Acid that could obstruct nutrition absorption to the body. Other drawbacks from raw red rice is that soaking is required before cooking, the texture of the cooked rice is hard to eat, and its nutrition is difficult to digest. These make it less favorable among society therefore it is not in a good sale so far, resulting in low revenue of the organic rice farmers. Therefore, this program was initiated to enrich the quality of red rice products through adding a step into the milling process which is milling using sugawa machine to remove the hard husks. The final product expected from the program was organic embryo red rice that is easy for cooking, soft textured cooked rice, and digestable rice in order to increase the chance of optimal nutrition absorption to the body. Among several solutions offered in the program include supplying and testing a milling machine, production training and guidance, socializing and marketing. The first solution administered was supplying and testing a Sugawa machine to mill raw rice into embryo red and brown rice. Then, it was followed by providing a Sugawa pressure cooker tool to mix derived product from the materials used such as embryo rice and bran, that is embryo porridge and bran cereal. The training conducted in the program contains guidance for applying the SOP of producing embryo rice and its derivatives. While socialization was administered specifically to the board and partners of Gapoktan Al-Barokah, village government, field trainers, and muspika (council for local government) of Wonosari aiming to achieve a collective and sustainable movement, as well as a group of patients of degenerative illnesses from Community Health Center of Wonosari. Finally, it was followed by marketing that was performed during the socialization by providing samples of embryo red rice, embryo brown rice, and its derivatives. The embryo rice was packaged in a 1kg-vacuum bag, labelled with Botanik Beras Embrio Merah and Botanik Beras Embrio Coklat and thereby distributed to nearby stores around Wonosari subdistrict area.

Abstract:
The increasing interest in the potential of forage mixtures for milk production in the UK resulted in a three year study being commissioned at the Centre for Dairy Research by the Milk Marketing Board. Year 1 compared the effect on forage intake and yield of milk and milk constituents of replacing grass silage (GS) with either fodder beet (FB), urea-treated (4%) (UW) or fermented whole-crop wheat (FW) or brewers grains (BG) at 330 g/kg of forage DM or maize silage at either 330 (MS) or 750 (MSH) g/kg forage DM. All cows received 6 kg DM/day of an appropriate concentrate so that dietary crude protein (CP) was equalised. Tire use of forage mixtures significantly increased DM intake and milk yield. Significant changes were also recorded in milk quality. Milk fat content was depressed by BG and MSH but increased by FB, while MS and FB increased milk protein content when compared with GS. The aim of the current study was to determine the effect of concentrate level on feed intake and milk production of Friesian cows offered a forage ration of either GS or mixtures of GS and either 330 g/kg forage DM of MS, FB or BG, or 750 g/kg forage DM of maize silage (MSH).

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how Western Canadian wheat producers’ make their marketing decisions. In Canada, wheat, durum wheat, and barley produced for human consumption and export are marketed through the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB), which offers several marketing contracts providing distinct combinations of risk, return, and cash flow. Pool pricing is the default alternative in which the CWB markets grain for producers, while Producer Payment Options (PPOs) represent instruments producers can use to price their wheat outside the pool. Results suggest that generally producers are not able to identify profit opportunities with PPOs, but active marketing strategies tend to generate better performance compared to passive strategies. Further, producers do not seem to repeat the same strategy every year and are influenced by previous performance when choosing their current marketing strategy. Finally, producers seem to follow price signals in choosing marketing contracts, indicating they track market movements and respond to the incentive of locking in higher prices.
