Zimbabwe was claiming a "bumper maize harvest" of 1.7 million tonnes but the Commercial Farmers Union had said during the summer that has just ended that less than 1/3 of the confiscated commercial farm land was still under cultivation.
There were also massive shortages of inputs (seed and fertilizer) at the beginning of the summer.
It is now winter. The standard winter crop in Zim is wheat (notwithstanding Ag Minister Made's attempt at promoting winter maize cultivation). See the article that I am also posting entitled "Huge wheat deficits feared"
