“State controlled produce buyer and seller Admarc has managed to buy 200,000 metric tons of maize.”

Really? Is there a cast-iron contract that the maize has been purchased? How has it been paid for?

Where is this maize? Certainly, it is not in Malawi.

Has the means of transport for getting the maize here been worked out? Is there money for transport?

Is it white maize, or yellow maize, which is grown for animal feed?
