Treasury releases fresh funds for payouts
- Grain Marketing Board snagged ZWG60 million plus US$5 million from Treasury recently.
- These chunks rolled in over the last two weeks to speed up farmer payments.
- Total disbursed now hits ZWG250 million alongside US$30 million for wheat deliveries.
- GMB hails the money as huge relief that keeps growers in the official system.
- Officials stress steady backing for farming since it powers Zimbabwe's economy.
- Funds aim to rebuild trust after chronic delays wrecked farmer morale.
- GMB targets payouts within 14 to 30 days once cash flows.
- Past Treasury shortfalls dragged things out and pushed folks away from selling to them.
