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:
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:
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.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper was to examine the difference in the effect on external marketing effectiveness of gender similar boards and gender dissimilar boards in the agro-manufacturing industry in Zimbabwe. Design/methodology/approach Based on a multi-item construct of external marketing effectiveness, data were gathered from 56 agro-manufacturing firms. The significant differences in the effect of marketing activities designed by male, gender-diverse and female boards on the level of external marketing effectiveness of the firms were examined using MANOVA. Findings The results suggest significant differences on the levels of external marketing effectiveness between all female boards and all male and gender-diverse boards. Female boards indicated high levels of external marketing effectiveness on customer-perceived value, loyalty, satisfaction, brand performance and symbolic meaning. The study concludes that marketing effectiveness will only be achieved by firms that develop relevant marketing strategies for the female consumer market. Research limitations/implications The sample for this research was drawn from agro-manufacturing firms in Zimbabwe. Therefore, the applicability of these findings to other countries should be done with caution. In addition, the sample for the research was rather small, with only a few female boards. If conducted with a larger sample, the results could be different. The developed scale to measure external marketing effectiveness may require to be tested by other researchers in different settings to confirm its applicability in measuring the construct in multiple settings. Originality/value Prior research shows that corporate board effectiveness has tended to be measured in terms of corporate financial performance. This research measures board effectiveness from the extent to which its gender composition has an effect on the ability of manufacturing firms to serve emerging needs of female consumers.

Abstract:
In Zimbabwe, it was popularly believed that the rural areas were in grain surplus or at least self-sufficient. Therefore, after Independence, a subsidized and controlled public marketing system was developed to move all rural surpluses to urban households. This system, however, could not channel surpluses cheaply to deficit rural areas and therefore adversely affected rural food security. Recently, the Zimbabwean grain markets have been liberalized. More direct channels for rural consumers to access surplus production through the market have emerged which can potentially cut the marketing costs. These channels were studied in a food deficit area, Buhera District, and they are presented using a geographical information system (GIS) to demonstrate the spatial patterns in food purchases. The fieldwork took place during the first drought since liberalization and offers insights into the changing dynamics of this rural market at a time of food security stress.

Abstract:
Raw milk samples from 73 individual milk producers were obtained at the three main Dairy Marketing Board (DMB) collection centers in Zimbabwe during the period of January to February, 1988. The samples were examined for the presence of antibiotics using the Delvotest-P (Gist-Brocades) ampoule test method with a sensitivity of 0.002 I.U. of penicillin per ml of milk. Four samples (5.5%) contained more than 0.005 I.U. of penicillin per ml or equivalent. Two (2.8%) samples contained antibiotics other than penicillin. An antibiotic depletion study using 23 cows treated with a multiple antibiotic intramammary infusion product, streptomycin - penicillin mixture (Dispolac RX4 B®; Coopers, South Africa), indicated a withholding period of 7–8 d was necessary to obtain milk free of detectable residues. The sensitivity of the Delvotest-P for streptomycin was determined by the manufacturers and found to be 4–6 μg/ml.

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.
