The prices of mealie meal and other foods have continued to skyrocket, raising concern among residents of Lusaka.
A 25kg bag of Mealie Meal is trading between 170 and 200 kwacha.
And several shops checked in Lusaka have run out of the commodity, with shop owners stating that they have not received new stock from millers, for the last three days.
The Ministry of Agriculture and other stakeholders are expected to address the media on Tuesday on the mealie meal situation in the country.
