How can farmers sell their grain to GMB?
Farmers can deliver their grain to the nearest GMB depot, where it will be weighed, graded, and recorded. Payment is made directly into the farmer’s registered bank account once the grain passes quality checks. Farmers must bring identification, proof of land ownership or farming rights, and a valid producer number.
How does GMB ensure grain quality and safety?
GMB uses strict quality control measures at all depots. Every batch of grain is tested for moisture content, impurities, and overall grade before acceptance. This ensures that only clean, safe, and properly dried grain enters the national supply chain.
Can individuals and companies buy grain from GMB?
Yes. Both individuals and registered companies can apply to purchase grain from GMB for milling, stock feed production, or household consumption. Buyers are required to submit a formal application at the nearest depot or through the GMB Head Office and comply with all payment and documentation requirements.
