Lungu: Malawi will export 1.1 Metric Tons Of Maize
Mzuzu, Mana: The Ministry of Agriculture says the county will export a surplus of 1.1 million metric tons of maize from the 2020/2021 farming season.
The ministry’s Public Relations Officer, Gracian Lungu said the decision was arrived at after a crop inspection report projected the bumper yield this year.
The first round of production estimate shows that Malawi is expected to produce 4.4 million MT of maize which is 29 per cent above the estimated national need of 3.4 million MT.
“The country is indeed expected to have bumper produce this year, and there is surplus of maize that has been set to be sold outside the country.
The Farmers Union of Malawi (FUM) has endorsed the government fixed commodity prices after earlier criticizing it.
Njolomole confirmed acceptance of the farm gate prices
Officials from FUM say the change of stance on the government-fixed farm gate prices follows a recent meeting with agriculture authorities.
A fortnight ago, agriculture authorities published minimum prices meant to guide ADMARC and private traders when buying produce from farmers.
In its initial reaction to the set price of K150 per kilogramme of maize, which is down from K200 that was being offered last year, FUM accused the government of disregarding cost of production.
