Millers Credit Steady Maize Supply for Falling Mealie Meal Prices

The Millers Association of Zambia has attributed recent reductions in mealie meal prices to a steady supply of maize, which it said had brought down production costs.

Association President Andrew Chintala told ZNBC News that millers were committed to ensuring consumers felt the benefit of this year's strong harvest.

Mr Chintala said the Association was working closely with Government and other stakeholders to prepare for the potential effects of El Niño on future production.

He said the Association's priorities were aligned with the Grow Zambia Agenda, which seeks to expand the market for maize and meet national production targets.
