Malawi to sell maize to Kenya, Tanzania— Admarc
State produce trader Agricultural Development and Marketing Corporation (Admarc) is considering selling some of its maize stock to Kenya and Tanzania.
Admarc board chairperson James Masumbu confirmed that the two East African countries reportedly inquired if they could sale them maize to them as they face shortage of the grain.
Masumbu said Admarc referred Kenya and Tanzania to Capital Hill for a discussion at government level on the deal.
He said the decision to sell the maize will be made month-end of April after harvesting.
According to Masumbu, Admarc has 100 000 metric tonnes of maize in stock.
He said they would need to sell the maize to pay back the loans they got.

The government should not sell the maize to the mentioned countries. the Admarc company should find other means of paying the loans it is having. Please sell that maize to poor malawians especially those who cannot even manage to buy subsidised farm inputs. Once again do not sell the maize because of the reason stipulated in this passage. Why is it that the government was unable to give aid to the families in remote areas who were greatly faced by hunger?
that’s a good move keep it up.
mukagulitsa chimangacho ndalama mubesi
A WISE farmer sells his surplus produce while afoolish farmer sell before saving his….govt save 4citizens first..
Fellow Malawians, read between lines. Someone is initiating this deal behind scene to conceal maizegate. When did Malawi get the 100,000 metric tonnes surplus? They want to hide something or I should say drop maizegate case.

Think outside the box for once we can even go on and become the major producer of maize in Africa vuto lake anthu inu ndiokanika!!!!
ADMARC plus Boma Lake are so stupid. This is the same maize you got from Zambia and its failing in MALAWI. Nde mumanama chani. Very STPID decision makes. You should perish!!!!!!!!!!!
Stupid decision makers
Pano mukuti mugulitse chimanga ku Kenya ndi Tanzania, tsono chomwe mumagulira chimanga ku Zambia ndichiyani .Boma la atsogoleri amisala
Does ADMARC have a functional board? All the silly mistakes were made under their nose….shame
mukatelo ndiye tidzidandaulanso njala? anthu otembeleledwa basi
If Govt is going t sell the maize to Kenya and Tanzania, that is govt to govt business. But individuals who also have the commodity in stock need to be allowed to sell it now that market is available. China chimanga chachanso and who is buying from who if private traders are forbidden to sell maize in Tanzania and Kenya where demand fro the same is high? Zamadiru ayi apa.
This is a good development sell the maize and give back the loans. This was a blunder i hope malawi has now learnt a lesson
