Maize farmers in Zimbabwe are reaping the benefits of a newly liberalized grain trade, as prices on the commodity exchange steadily rise. The government's decision to lift the Grain Marketing Board's monopoly on buying maize and wheat earlier this year has led to improved price discovery and market efficiency. This move has been particularly beneficial as both crops are currently in surplus, bringing smiles to the faces of local farmers who are now able to access better prices.
