Earlier Report Observations
Production of cereal germ in Zimbabwe began the period at 70 364 t in 2018 and remained nearly stable in 2019. A downward trend followed, with output falling to 67 010 t in 2020 and further to 64 043 t by 2022, before a slight recovery to 64 693 t in 2023. Overall, market volume, which equates to domestic production due to negligible trade, contracted by approximately 8% over these six years.
Specific drivers for the cereal germ market were not widely documented during 2018-2023. However, by 2024, a severe El Niño-induced drought significantly damaged the country's corn crop, prompting the government to declare a State of Disaster. New regulations were introduced, including a grain sourcing rule requiring processors to procure at least 40% of raw materials from local farmers and a temporary ban on cereal imports to support domestic production.
