Abstract

These Regulations of the Minister of Lands, Agriculture, Water, Climate and Rural Resettlement, made under section 39 of the Agricultural Marketing Authority Act, provide for the control on the marketing of maize and declare maize to be a controlled product in terms of section 29 of the Act. The product shall be controlled in all the provinces of Zimbabwe. No person or statutory body or company or entity shall sell or otherwise dispose of any maize except to a contractor (company or entity that enters into a scheme contract with a producer to grow maize) or to the Grain Marketing Board. No person who is not a producer of maize or who is not a contractor shall sell maize to the Grain Marketing Board. The Board may reject any maize delivered by a person other than a producer or a contractor. Maize shall be purchased only from the Board. A person who acquires any maize for use as seed shall not use or dispose of that maize for any other purpose unless with the written permission of the Grain Marketing Board. The Regulations also provide rules on contract farming regarding maize.
