Maize prices down 2 percent, says institute (The Nation) 

January 16, 2023


The Nation (Malawi) quotes the latest IFPRI Malawi office report showing showing that across 26 markets in the country, on average, maize was selling at K471 per kilogram (kg) or K23 950 per 50kg bag during the last week of December, two percent less than in the previous month.

According to the IFPRI Malawi monthly Maize Market Report, “The decline is mainly because Admarc depots have started selling maize in most of the markets at lower prices.”
