Critical Shortage of mealie meal has hit Kabwe with those having the commodity selling it at K80,000 which has raised concern among residents.
And Agriculture minister Emmanuel Chenda has disclosed that the government was considering banning both the export of mealie meal and maize as preventive measure.
And long queues at National milling in Kabwe which was offloading the commodity on Wednesday afternoon forced the company to close the outlet prematurely for fear of stampede.
A survey carried out in Kabwe found that most outlets such as Shoprite, Chimusoro and other supermarkets had run out of the commodity with only one shop at green market which only had two bags 25kg and was selling at K80,000.
National Milling which offloaded the mealie meal as at late afternoon of Wednesday did not show sign of opening the outlet on Thursday for fear of long queues with those talked to stressing that the move has been taken to avoid commotion following the scarce of the product.
A Mr Robert Banda of Makululu township talked to said he was looking for mealie following a bereavement at his home and that he was now looking for maize to buy with a view of taking it to the hammer mill.
Another resident, Mary Muya who was among people who queued up with a view of buying the commodity after word went round over the availability of the produce said much as he is aware that the premature closure was necessitated by long queues, the outlet should have been opened to allow those wishing to purchase to do so.
He said the outlet should only allow one bag per person and should not allow bulk buying as that would deny others an opportunity to purchase.
And Mr Chenda when contacted for a comment said the government has a duty to ensure that it satisfy the local demand hence the move it was planning to take to curb the situation.
He said as far as the government is concerned there was enough mealie meal following the offloading of maize on the market and that it was clear that some mealers were interested in satisfying the outside demand.
He one of the market which the traders were targeting was the Congolese market and that he would soon be meeting with experts and other stakeholders to discuss the matter.
Y should they even be considering,, let them just ban
\:d/ Impossible there is market lberalisation now,you need economic managers not chancers to run the country
sad to learn wen the nation is exporting metric of tones to other countries,y not save b4 such crisis strikes that’s budget i presume.
How come this local demand isn’t regarded the same way when it comes to electricity. If anything I believe there should be an active program to promote alternative sources of starch; Potatoes, Rice, Cassava; and whatever there is. The sad thing is our agricultural and consumption habits are so constricted, it does not make sense producing these other products. Whats more they are so expensive and difficult to store. One wonders if our universities are decorations, they could help with this. Oh I forgot that the policy makers would rather prostitute their dumb asses of the political avenues of this nation than worry about feeding and taking care their children. ONE ZAMBIA! ONE NATION
“How come this local demand isn’t regarded the same way when it comes to electricity. If anything I believe there should be an active program to promote alternative sources of starch;”
Spot on,imwe bantu….where is the so called man of action president twapapata!
???Thank you a tremendous post, would see your paciarultr others content. many thanks for your notions with this, I felt a trifle made an impact to by this post. Thanks again again! You commit a good point. Got some fantastic data here. I believe that when more people considered it like that, they’d have a better time period receive the hang ofing the issue.VA:F [1.9.10_1130]please wait…VA:F [1.9.10_1130](from 0 votes)
RB left a bumper harvest,now we are facing the consequences of voting in Kaponya’s who can’t manage our resources.PF have even attracted army worms to finish of RB’s bumper harvest.
Icho chintu!!
my fellow tribes mates can even vote for a mad person. One Zambia One Nation
One Zambia, One Nation, Let us seek solutions as a nation!
Where is the bumper harvest PF?? Your agriculture policies are pathetic.
The maize has just vanished into thin air, no payment to farmers thus far. Shortage of fuel, massive load shading, unemployment and mealie meal scarcity are the orders of the day now..Chilishani guys and you say seleni tubombeko you must be Bitter yourselves
Time to start educating the masses that Potatoes , Rice , Pasta , Cassava are all in the same family as Ubunga ! Starch !!! Or Carbo”s. I don’t want to hear excuses of expense coz if the same attention is paid to growing the said as corn, people would adjust. Not every body in the world lives on corn ?? When are we going to progress as a people kanshi ?
The issue is imprudent management of resources by the PaFwaka govt!Why cant they make sure that the staple food is available? Its insanity to give away all your food and start begging there after! In any case,if I want nshima,y should you tell me to eat rice instead when nshima is my choice? Ok,go to India,bangladeshi and tell them to stop complaining about shortage of their staple food,rice,and instaed start cooking and eating nshima….yaba some bloggers’ reasoning!That’s y ndiwe Mbuzi zoona!!
#6 Mbuzi akabwali kabwali those Potatoes , Rice , Pasta , Cassava & what ever wont fill your tummy like nshima does, besides mealie meal is far cheaper than all those plus you cant eat Potatoes , Rice , Pasta , Cassava with dry fish or okra
That is why they are called alternatives!! and I kansima in as much as its filling takes too much time and energy to digest, making you dull!
Who wants an expensive alternative??? When did Nshima make one dull?? i assume if it does you must have had some this morning
Good answer, Mr Engineer(process)… hahahahahaha
@afrozed must be choc-ice. I can afford any meal but all I want is nshima and no-one can complain about my intelligence. I am sharp, smart etc and I think it is because of Nshima. Potatoes, rice, pasta rot in our house but mealie meal goes so fast. Tilekeni tiko kulya nsima, mufuna ba pf baza chinje sample food yasu namwe!
Such pictures were a common occurence back in the kk unip days and its interesting to see the bad old days coming back after the unip schooled mcs stepped onto the mantel of presidency.
Its not only mealie meal that is available people,Its time to consider other food stuff such as rice,cassava,spugget,etc.This is a lesson to all those that think maize is the only food!! Ifyalenga ifii buchushii.Lets us move ourselves from poverty we have imposed on ourselves.
What is spugget?? never heard of that one before but on the contrally i know of spaghetti
On the contrary is what u mean…
Who can really explain this shortage of Mellie meal
Maiko and Winter.
#7. Engineer . Good Point. Chapatwa with potatoes or rice. ? Non Starter
Donchi Kubeba! Donchi Kubeba! Face it Copperbelt, that is what you wanted. We warned you against voting for kaponyas who knew nothing about governance but no, donchi kubeba. Well, you will eat donchi kubeba. Just imagine, even after leaving them a bumper harvest, they still cant manage. What sort of people are these?
Nshima,nshima,nshima everyday yet zedians can’t even try more nutritious arrow roots,yams and beans?Well,to zambians every problem looks like a nail so the only tool they know is a hammer.
Nothing beats Nshima, just like nothing beats a cold Coke. Who tells you that these other plants can not be attacked by worms
make the alternatives cheaper then we will consider them. make them accessible as well to all areas of the country. the word is staple food. its not that we dont eat everything else.also consider how easy it is to grow and store these alternative foods. first find best methods of growing and storing or preserving them then tell us to substitute our staple food
This is what SATA and KK can do. SATA in his foolish behaviour and action exported Maize to Zimbabwe to appease ONE Gabriel Robert Mugabe.
Now this. SATA must be arreated for abuse of authority and poor Judgement.
SHAME Shame on Sata, Kabimba and PF! While Zambians are suffering they are busy creating bye elections costing billions of Kwacha.
Sata and his minions were not worth to be voted for. Sorry Zambians i personally supported these FULLS.
God help Zambia! I used to boast of Zambia under Rupiah but now am ashamed because it is a POLICE SATE under Sata who is satan!
We are back to Kaunda days when sata was Governor
You FULLS stop suggesting for alternative now because poor Zambians wants Mealie Meal now! The shortage has come because of the incompetence of Sata, Kabimba and PF!
Who is better, me or you? you are busy complaining while I am busy making tangible ad workable suggestions. You do realise that if these alternatives were consumed on a daily basis our nations agricultural industry would improve tremendously? Nutrition related illnesses will be eradicated and our diets and food variety will improve. Kufwa na no even for good things shuwa? shame on you guys
the problem is here is not corn. the problem is mismanagement. even if you bring in all those yams, pastas and cassavas there will be shortages as long as mediocre policies continue to be made. how come when other people were in leadership this was never a problem? were Zambians eating yam and cassava then?
Well said The Oracle! Mismanagement is the norm of our beloved gvt. If only they can get some qualified and experienced people to manage some of our resources but alas they say that all qualified and experienced personnel are mmd. The kaponyas are ruling, well done them!
Sata should not abuse Kenneth Kaunda in parading him in public to parrot his words because the cognition of Kaunda is questionable because he has DEMENTIA so legally the man needs resting and he is also saving his son job who has no qualification apart from his military training.
Legally Kaunda Kenneth should give his next of kin the power of attorney to speak for him.
Fellow Zambians do not be deceived Kaunda has no sound mind to speak on political issues as he has DEMENTIA.
Pabwatooooooo viva kekekekeke
FIRST TIME SINCE KAUNDAS DAY.
AGONY IS DONATING YOUR Â MEALIE MEAL AND FUEL TO YOUR NEIGHBOUR THEN YOU OWN CHILDREN STARVE.
UMUNTU BWALI ( NSHIMA)
Zambians and nshima!Anyway Zambians voted for queues coz we warned about this and what did they say…Mulekeni nankwe atekeko.Te papa!!Ala kuyikumuna fye.GOD BLESS ZAMBIA.
sata means unip. unip means  humanism . humanism means sacrifyse for your neighbour country at your expens.Â
Fellow Zambians do you realise that if these alternatives were consumed on a daily basis our nations agricultural industry would improve tremendously? Nutrition related illnesses will be eradicated and our diets and food variety will improve, mealie meal prices would drop there are so many advantages to this I still wonder why we stick to being *****s and say no. Agricultural diversity is also key to economic diversity because you could have other sectors producing more than they normally do. Kufwa na no even for good things shuwa? shame on you guys, especially the government that is sitting quietly while army worms come again..
Spot on!!
Well come to America, you just arrived and you start insulting your own parents for feeding you on maize porridge and nsima?
I totally concur with your reasonable suggestions, however this should be looked at in the context that you have expressed but should not by any means used as an excuse for the lack of the staple food. All society will have some kind of staple food, but also provide a wide variety for choice whether from a dietary need all just as a matter of preference. Just like the English have mash or potatoes and bread as the basis of any meal, ubunga should be available when required. It is really sad that such sensible suggestions as you have made will fall on death ears.
#25 do you realize the cost per Kg of those alternatives is 3 to 4 times that of mealie meal?? You are talking of an expensive alternative. if it was cheaper or more less the same it would have been accepted
If you looked at one of my earlier posts I did allude to the fact that these things are more expensive, but you know that GRZ could provide subsidies? that is the first way to reduce their cost of production.Â
Why not empower people with job creation so that they have more money and buy what ever they want regardless of expensive or not.. The way out is job creation which will increase demand. government should step in so as the increased demand does not cause a rise in the prices but should be combated by increase in supply..
So why not create these jobs through the agric sector? I think you are having a problem reconciling the idea of agriculture with a farmer carrying a Kamwili around. have a well fed nation and everything else will just flow.
I agree with some bloggers.What we need is a complete export ban.It might be worse next year if stories of army worms are anything to go by.We surely needs to guard our stocks carefully.
rb knows cobra very well no wonder he wept on that fateful day
Fossils are at Home in Museums. They do not belong to State. Houses. Its time to return that Relic to it’s rightful Home. There’s another Chinsali fossil making a fool of itself in Lusaka. Please return to the Chinsali if you find it!
I hope you now understand why rb wept
Educate me. What the heck is nshima??????????KEKEKEKEKEKEK
Thick poledge with mealie meal as the core ingredient
have you tried these alternatives you are talking for at least for a year? i dont think so. i have lived abroad for so many years but nshima is nshima baba. that is why the Asians in Zambia feed on rice that is their staple food. we were brought up by nshima and we cant change now just because we have an irresponsible government that is failing to stabilize the supply of maize on the market due to luck planing.
Finally some healthy debate..
Yes they are expensive at present. have you bothered to ask yourself why? To be honest 3-4 times more expensive is a juvinile exhajuration and you know it for I spoke of more products than just potatoes and there are more than one type of potatoe.
These products are not produced on a scale that will offset the prices to a lower level, in as much as we would like to focus on how expensive things are, there are solutions to making them cheaper and more accessible. and it starts with you the consumer, communicated to the producer. Our society has grown and changed, unfortunately our perception has not.
I disagree with you on this one. the alternative you are talking about is too expensive. you need to train people on how to grow these alternatives you are talking about. 1. that is a huge cost. 2. for how long will those alternatives reach the level of maize consumption? probably 30 years. question is should people wait for 30 years to substitute maize? the answer is NO. the solution is strategize on coming up with a good maize marketing system whose prices are competitive such that millers can also buy directly from farmers. Not the current the situation where all the maize is bought by FRA
From the First National Development Plan there have been policies and plans to market and distribute maize better Bwalya Chiselema, the fact is it is not a very sustainable because like our mining you cannot have a sector depending on one single commodity. what’s more Maize has very little nutritional value. When you speak of training, will it cost more than the avarage of 5 by- elections we witness with every tenure since 1991? They say if you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
Man the major problem we have is that the country has too many class room educated guys who are only good at theories coined in different environments from ours. Imagine if we consumed millet, cassava, sorghum and other foods. The price would come down as more people would be producing them. But for now, since very few people eat them, they are more considered as luxuries. Do you remember that about 12 yrs or so ago we had a drought in most parts of the country and the most affected people were those who do not eat cassava and millet. I remember malnutrition cases rose except in Northern, Western Luapula and N/western where cassava and millet are eaten Â
guys whats happening in ndola ? i heard breaking news on phoenix.
tell us kaili
The looting, it was bound to happen sooner or later.
# 26 we have the Kafue flats, Luena flats and mweru wantipa flats (I might be mistaken about the last) but all these areas can be used to produce tubers, wheat and rice to a level which er could easily have massive excesses and export. It will help supplement the growth transport system, stimulate job growth and what have you…People will never stop eating. we could have whole new industry based on food processing. there is a lot more we could do with our land mu brother. we could also increase the number of fish farms while we are at it. wouldn’t you want a healthy population.
I think the head line should read “Critical shortage of Mealie Meal persists in KABWE as Government considers banning exports” L.T – please check your work before you mislead us!! Thanks
Is nshima the only meal in Zambia; how can someone starve without it…some of us have lived without this stuff for 4 – 6 years straight even though it is sold in Asian stores. There are potatoes, pasta, rice, naan bread, yam, cassava wake up people and diversify. You can not be dependent on maize meal in this day and age. As for those claiming that alternatives are more expensive wake up to the fact that maize meal is subsidised; it is just a food and security risk to continue to be dependent on nshima.
The reaction Govt at work! Only now are they suggesting some solutions which should have been done much earlier. But politics of poverty are busy enriching themselves and parading fellow traitors in the media while the country is grounding to a halt. This is clearly a PF problem as it was common talk on the streets a year or so ago, that selling maize to Zimbabwe, Kenya and Congo was the way to go. Sata even managed to give some handouts to his Principle Mugabe….

What is your point?
Look at the prices
where have you got this price list from. which location has these prices? dont generalize the pricing as there are so many factors affecting pricing. prices at mandahill will differ from prices in central business area for the same product. justify your price list
Shut up Bwalya
Parmalat or Bonita or Finta milk? Cadbury or Beacon chocolate. Palmolive or Lux shampoo. Axe or Shield deodorant? Specify which brands you are referring to and which shop you got this from. Definitely not Shoprite, Game or Spar. They like those funny figures.
Focus on the solution and not the problem!!! are you really an engineer you? I have tried to open your mind to these things that WE could talk about until a solution is found. You might think I am somewhere else but I am here in Lusaka, I have spent the past week without food in my place not because I don’t want to but because it is really expensive. 1 tomato cost me K1500 does that make sense to you? I don’t think so, if a vegetable costs this much what more meat? We need to improve our country, bring solutions to the table and hope someone with policy making power and initiative picks up on it. PLEASE!!!
You are what this nation lacks most. People who can look for a solution outside the box. Most people are comfortable applying the same ineffective solutions our grand fathers applied decades ago despite the changes in timeÂ
exactly so for now no to those alternatives you suggested, lets import mealie meal or maize if we have to…The alternatives are a long term thing and requires amending agriculture policies
For now ka, but we need serious long tern, not 5 year, but long term solutions…also we should learn from these chinese that are here, they have some major techniques that could help us out.
Misleading Title:
Any one educate me. I CAN NOT see KITWE in this article.
If the farmers are a constant  and we have never had such problems assuming that the policies have been there then what really needs to change is the way the govt manages things.Â
If you cant pay farmers for their produce while subsidizing consumption then there is a problem.Â
Give Wynter chance to lead. this is just a slight minor hiccup.
# 40, when did this Afrozed come in contact with civilization? Are in a bar, where you want to listen to your own voice?
See, this is where I take issue with you my country men, when someone speaks of something you cannot readily imagine, they are obviously excited or some sort of foolish assumption that will come to your mind. If you fail to see merit in someones contributions better keep quiet or seek clarification, i this case I suggest the latter because you are a Zambian too. There are people on this blog that might have the ability to employ what I have to say.
Thank you
Zambians, what is this idea of shortage of meali meal?. Zambia graduated from shortages 22 years ago and our children have never known this shameful episode of our nation. Today to hear shortage of meali meal is disgraceful to who ever is leading Zambia. What has made Zambia come to this stage is self inflicted choice and more is to come. Fuel shortage, electricity shortage, (hear UTH and even state gets black outs, Diplomats must be laughing) maize shartage, unpaid farmers, impassable roads, medicine in hospitals not available. What a shameful state of affairs. Will postpond returning home till next leaders take governance of our country with competency to match with universal basic human right standards.
Chaps are busy trying to make a one party state and are not attending to any national issues. The PF era has attracted more by elections in Zambian history
Why should the diplomats be laughing when they were in the fore-front of getting the current gvt into office. They ought to be ashamed and embarrassed that pf conned them and yet they make us believe that they are (esp of the western world) smarter than most of us.
Lets be realistic, how many sacks of potatoes would you have to buy to feed a family of 5?This is not like the west where low to middle income earners are paid on a weekly basis, people live on a monthly income and can only shop according to that cycle. Try keeping potatoes for an entire month, very impractical not to mention the storage challenge of keeping the amount of potatoes that would be required to feed a family of 5 for a month. Talk of rice, to eat for a month you need a 50kg bag…thats about 400pin. Its not that Zambians are addicted to maize and have failed to consider anything else its the challange of affording for rice and practicality of storage for potatoes. As for Cassava and millet – processing is very labour intensive a farmer would make a loss to mass produce the same
Well put Lady, but since you speak of realism, you realistically believe that when we speak of potato or rice, that is what you and your family will eat exclusively. and you might find that 4 out of those 5 are unemployed another reason why that food is that expensive. Cassava and Millet need not be labour intensive i processing machinery is made available. We have engineers at UNZA, NORTEC and CBU that should be able to make something from the scraps of Vigayo and wrecked cars. all I am saying is we should be able to create these solutions for ourselves.
afrozed think of someone in shangombo What will they eat these alternatives with what?? Obviously they mostly go with beef, pork, parsley ,sausage lamb etc. The challenge will be affordability. If most people start taking these alternatives what happens to that marketeer who sale okra dry fish pupwa and the like ?? Alternative @ this point would affect alot of people negatively financially.. You must ask your self why we don’t have McDonald in ZED
By the way does NORTEC have engineers now?? i thought they only have artisans
For a moment I thought you were a serious person. Mind over matter, if your desire is to combine the elements of a balanced diet, you can eat cassava with delele, no problem!
I have eaten sweet potato with veggies and it went down. You need to leave Africa for a bit (NOT USA) and see how other people live, then you will see what I am talking about. Granted, Nortec has no engineers, it does have machinists and others that are very necessary. what do you have to say abut UNZA and CBU
@ Afrozed, leave us with our nshima. The nutrients come from a variety of relish that accompany the nshima. We have lived in the western world- USA, Germany, Sweden, UK, Australia etc but nshima is our life. What nonsense are these alternatives? When there was a pototoe famine in Ireland what did the Irish do? Damp pototoes? Can you tell west africans to damp yams etc No. We must have our nsima with chicken, rape and delele. If gvt is failing to manage maize produce, the one they have lived and breathed for years what more the alternatives that are alien to them? Do you want to exterminate zambians or what? Maybe if you had a progressive gvt, imported from a serious counrty, you can dream of such things. For now manage the maize that we know!
Everything is possible be open-minded and nobody keeps potatoes for a month unless frozen…ask yourself how others survive without nsima and they are just as poor as the Zambians. Instead of screaming about obstacles let’s look for solutions. You have rice going to waste every year in Kalabo yet you complain… diversifying the diet also encourages people to budget for food properly like the budget for booze.
Wake up lady!!
As if it’s a joke comrades that people are queuing for Mealie meal sure..You have this man resigning for another bye election which will cost us 20b.Church mother bodies,Mr Mumembe,media bodies,Civil society organisations,law bodies and other associations please save us from this shame.lack of mealie meal,shortage of water,poor road network,constitutional breaches,why did we vote for illiteracies to Govern us….watch BBC at 17:34.it’s a shame,let someone find a solution.chase Namulambe from Parley so that he can wait for 4 yrs that son of a ……..make sure you post this comment
#9 kekekekekekeke what is “spugget”?If u cant even spell it,then u also dont know it!! I cant mispell my nshima!!!
YOU ARE ONLY TALKING ABOUT MEALIE MEAL,I HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND CHINGOLA EVERY DAY AFTER KNOCKING OFF LOOKING FOR A PLACE WHERE I COULD HAVE A BEER.
Whats your point is it fuel or beer crisis ??
OF COURSE YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT,IF I CAN DRIVE AROUND IT MEANS I HAVE FUEL.
#47. The point some of us are trying to make is that you do not have to stick to one commodity ! In this day and age life styles should change don’t have 5 children if you can not feed them. Ask your self not all countries live on maize so there must be an alternative !!
It would appear that the PF is a big joke in economic management of this country.Apart from copper and other minerals,we need to export other products to earn foreign exchange.Here is an opportunity to export maize to DR Congo where a huge market exists.What do we hear from our government ? Ban on export of maize and other maize products.MMD for all its sins have been having Bumper harvests for over 10 continuous years which PF has sadly successfully mismanaged in just under two years of its rule.What is the outlook for the next two to three years?
The man wants to build 8,000 kilometres of bitumen roads in four years (about 2000km per year) when he can not even show his neighbour where to buy mealie meal.
Ilyashi lya bunga tulisendeko serious otherwise……crime will be high in zed.
Bad policies and the heavily politicised FRA aside the FACT is we are just one bad rainy season from national disaster; should we always be relying on imports and this staple food yet we have abundant arable land and abundant water supply; diversification and commercialisation via co-operatives is the answer to most of our problems we have rice going to waste in places like Kalabo in Western Province and empty flood plains in Luapula Province. Why don’t we rejoice when we are faced with a challenge like this instead of complaining and politicising every single thing….some people don’t know that processed Zambian Sugar is the only sugar fortified with vitamin A in the manufacturing process… why? (cont’d)
That’s because there is a vitamin A deficiency in most Zambian’s diet especially in regions close to lakes and rivers where their diet consists of mostly nsima & fish everyday…leading to a high number eye complaints in children at clinics. Brilliant Zambian minds sat down and brainstormed on how to get this essential vitamin in our diet and came up with mixing the vitamin with the sugar nationwide.Â
Let’s tackle issues head-on dependence on the heavily subsided maize meal; is not sustainable and diversification is the only way forward…there should not be a thing as a staple food in this day and age…if crocodiles had a staple food they would be extinct like their dinosaurs cousins by now.
This is what happens when you vote without thinking.
Where has all the maize gone? Cage the millers and bring in other people to run the companies. This is total rubbish.
Mealers and not “Millers”.
Don’t complain about expensive alternatives to your bland nshima because all over the world healthy eating is more expensive.Living longer and healthier doesn’t come cheap.
We have excess maize harvest how can this happen?? POOR PLANING and WRONG PRIORITIES. As a Country we can do better. Either millers are not serious or let this be an opportunity for other Zambians to open Milling companies. Sad development and hope this will not push prices up.
So Rev. K. Kaoma was right! I thought he was just making noise!
I ve got loads of yam for Zambians from Nigeria. any one interested?
