The Monthly Maize Market Report was developed by researchers at IFPRI Malawi with the goal of providing clear and accurate information on the variation of maize prices in selected markets throughout Malawi. The reports are intended as a resource for those interested in maize markets in Malawi, namely producers, traders, consumers, or other agricultural stakeholders.
Highlights
- Retail maize prices increased by 4 percent in July 2021. This was driven by rising prices in the South.
- ADMARC purchases were reported in 13 markets monitored by IFPRI.
- Only 8% of farmers who sold maize in July received a price equal to or greater than the minimum farm gate price.
- Retail prices in Malawi were lower than elsewhere in in eastern Africa and on SAFEX.
