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

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. Numerou

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 cost

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.

Abstract:

Smallholder farmers around the world obtain their seed from various sources, which can vary over time. In some countries, smallholder farmers are gaining ground as local seed producers and sellers. This study focuses on the seed production and marketing operations, achievements, and challenges of a particular type of such producers—community seed banks—which are new players in the seed market. Pioneer case studies are presented from countries where grain legumes and dryland cereals are important crops: India, Nepal, Uganda, and Zimbabwe.

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 no

Zimbabwe has been experiencing food insecurity for many centuries. This study sought to explore and learn from Zimbabwe’s past and current food security (FS) efforts and challenges, through three historical periods, namely the precolonial, colonial and postcolonial, from about 1430 to 2020. The year 1430 marks the establishment of the Monomotapa state, one of the starting points for Zimbabwe’s own national reconstruction. Adopting a qualitative paradigm, data were obtained using document review and interviewing 85 purposively selected key informants, some of whom were found using snowballing.
