Farmers have so far delivered 3 331 tonnes of grain to the GMB worth $513,38 million since the opening of the 2022-2023 marketing season.

This was said by the GMB’s finance director, Mr Clemence Guta when he appeared before the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Lands, Agriculture, Water, Fisheries and Rural Resettlement, Tuesday.

“Total receipts to date are 3 331 tonnes valued at $513,38 million and US$714 000,” he said.
