NMC advises Livingstone residents not to panic over mealie meal

Share

National Milling Company, NMC, has advised Livingstone residents not to panic over the shortage of 25 Kiloggramme bags of Breakfast mealie meal bag in the tourist capital.

National Milling Company Managing Director, Peter Cottan said the milling company was doing everything possible to ensure more 25 KG bags of breakfast mealie meal are supplied on the market to arrest the trend.

Mr Cottan attributed the shortage to the recent reduction in the prices of mealie meal announced by the company.

He told ZANIS in an interview in Lusaka today, that National Milling Company will next Wednesday visit Livingstone to assess the situation, in an effort to address the crisis.

Mr Cottan has since disclosed intentions by the milling company to announce new prices of mealies.

He urged the Food Reserve Agency, FRA, to ensure it concludes agreements with other Millers in order to sustain increased supply of mealie meal and reduced prices in the country.

Mr Cottan also advised other Milling Companies to be more consistent and help by distributing more mealie meal to satisfy the market demands especially in Livingstone.

Meanwhile, Mr Cottan has since dismissed claims that National Milling Company mealie meal prices have not been reduced in Lusaka.

Yesterday, some Livingstone residents complained that the tourist capital had run out of the National Milling Company 25KG break fast mealie meal.
