Trading outlets in some parts of the country have continued to sell mealie meal at exorbitant prices of between K180 and K220 per 25KG bag.
Traders in North Western, Muchinga Provinces and parts of Lusaka have told Diamond News that order prices have remained as high as about K160.
This is contrary to assurances given by Millers Association of Zambia (MAZ) President Andrew Chintala’s comments last week that prices of the staple food had begun dropping following a recent consultative engagement with millers.
