Abstract
The chapter examines food security policy and product specific support to maize in Zimbabwe for the periods 2008–2009 to 2014–2015. The Grain Marketing Board (GMB) ensures national food security through production, procurement and management of Strategic Grain Reserve (SGR). Analysis this chapter shows that there is little or no policy space for Zimbabwe to implement its food security policy through procurement of maize at administered price. This erosion of policy space for Zimbabwe will hamper the interest of millions of people who are suffering from worst form of hunger, undernourishment, poverty and is likely to worsen the situation.
