ZIMBABWEAN millers have called on government to reinstate import duty on maize meal and flour to protect the country’s milling industry now threatened by the flooding of cereal imports into the country.
This follows the May gazetting of Statutory Instrument No 119 of 2020 which suspended import duty on Maize Meal (Commodity Code:1103.13.20) and Wheat Flour (Commodity Code:1101.00.10) and Commodity Code: 1101.00.20).
The policy slant was aimed at ensuring adequate maize-meal and bread-flour supplies on the market at that particular time after the national grain agent GMB experienced challenges in mobilising maize and wheat imports due to Covid-19 lockdown related difficulties.
