ANOTHER miller on the Copperbelt, Antelope Milling, has reduced by K3,000 breakfast mealie meal price following the recorded bumper maize harvest during the 2009-2010 farming season.
And the Zambia Consumers Association (ZACA) has urged other millers in the region to emulate National Milling Company (NMC) and Antelope Milling in reducing the price of mealie meal.
Antelope Milling managing director Emmanuel Kaldis who confirmed the development in an interview yesterday said a 25 kilogramme bag of breakfast will sell at K52,000 at the plant and K54,000 retail on the Copperbelt.
“Since the president of Millers Association of Zambia (MAZ) has already taken the
position of reducing prices on mealie meal, it is also important that millers do the same. So as Antelope we are effecting the price reduction effective tomorrow (today),” he said.
Mr Kaldis who said roller meal would continue trading at K33,000 appealed to Copperbelt residents to ensure that they did not pay more than the stipulated prices on his produce and report any dubious activities to his staff.
ZACA acting executive director Samuel Simutunda said his association was happy that millers had listened to its calls to reduce mealie meal prices.
Mr Simutunda expressed hope that millers would further reduce prices on mealie meal once the maize floods the market following the bumper harvest.

Good news for Zedians.
If I were the head of state of this republic, my first act would be to insure that all Zedians have the basic three meals per day. Unless if one simply does not want to eat, that should be a every individual’s choice. And talking about choices, I would also legalize weed. It’s all about the country making money and not borrowing. And my stand on prostitution? I wont stand on it. I would say, lay on it! :)>-
Nshilya Roller meal. At least ka breakfast meal eeeh. Nomba reducing by 3 pini. Anyway it alright ka pamela has reduced by K 200.
Why dont we try other foods like rice and potatoes. They are good and we can grow them in Zed. I think we rely too much on maize. We should try to be more innovative in our meals as well.
#3 i so much agree with you its no wander they choose to increase n decrease the commodity anytime they feel like ,nga breakfast milling tabalebweshako umutengo sure :-?:-?:-?:-?:-?
