> The FAO's GIEWS country brief forecasts Zimbabwe's 2017 maize output at 2.1 million tonnes, well above the drought-reduced 2016 level, on expanded plantings and better yields. Grain import forecasts for 2017/18 were cut sharply.

## Why it matters

A bumper domestic harvest reduces Zimbabwe's need for imported maize, which trims a small pocket of regional import demand and is mildly bearish for corn prices.
