The African Milling Limited has announced a reduction in the price of mealie-meal by 20 Kwacha, with immediate effect.
African Milling Sales and Marketing Manager Jomo Matululu says the company has reduced the wholesale price of a 25 Kilogramme bag of Breakfast mealie meal from 150 Kwacha to 130 Kwacha.
Mr. Matululu says a 25 Kilogramme bag of African Milling breakfast mealie meal is expected to be selling on the market for 136 Kwacha.
He said the company is putting modalities in place to also reduce the price of roller meal.
He said the reduction of the price of mealie meal is in line with the assurance that the company made to President Edgar Lungu when he commissioned the newly Milling Plant.
Mr. Matululu stated that the reduction is also as a result of the tripartite agreement signed between the milling company, grain traders and the Food Reserve Agency (FRA).
This is very good and awesome….
HH has also reduced the price of cattle. Expect the price of beef to go down too.
Ehhhh campaigns have started early!
Opportunity for businessmen to make a free K20.
African Milling is owned by Gulam Patel. This man is the biggest financier of PF thru multiple corrupt deals esp in ferlitiser and maize. He is the most sophisticated crook in Zambia today.
Very good news. Is it really TRUE? The media never gives us such news. We only know news to be doom and gloom
Demand and supply will decide the price……
Want a good relationship with president for his business to thrive.Otherwise economically wrong move looking at how kwacha is performing.
HH and his UPND do not want to hear this good news!!!Wow this is splendid news!!
Govnt should take a step further by asking African milling Company to open sales outlets across the city or Zambia from where consumers can be buying mealie meal direct at wholesale price-K130!!!Having agents in all businesses is what pushes prices of commodities up.The PF Govnt has done extremely well since 2011 except on few issues such as exchange rate,mealie meal prices and fuel prices.We cant blame them over loadshedding because we had a poor rain season last year.Moreover, ZESCO has improved power supply already as it is raining oftenly this year.If president Edgar Lungu can control the above stated issues,then he would win the 2021 general elections even without campaigning!!!In 2020 and 2021,it will…
you have only mentioned 25kg, what about ka pamela? most of us survive on that one. Ndaba 25kg we cannot afford.
Commendable gesture by African Milling.
Others should follow suit.
I have always tended to think that our mealie meal prices are artificially high. I have been expressing these sentiments for the past decade.
I do not know if there is any farmer or group of farmers who can provide evidence to substantiate the current staple food prices in this country.
Research so far shows that there is not a single cost price say for an acre of zea maize common to all farmers that can warrant the same selling price. Surpringly, even farmers in the same location may have varied cost prices because of various peculiarities. But what they have iin common is roughly the same selling price.
Also, most farmers will agree that the returns on investment amount to almost double the costs. Lets…
Kikikikiki. 25kg? Just a number on the PACKAGE.. could be 18kg.
This is as a result of signing a tripartite agreement between the company, grain traders and FRA. In other words they are able to reduce the price due to having access to cheap maize from FRA. Let other millers also get this maize then they will also be able to reduce.
It is still expensive with that money k136 it is suppose to buy three 25kgs then we can say it’s normal.
This company will collapse
Kwacha’s rate to the dollar has nothing to do with locally produced stuff
The owner of african milling is very generous and he is into charity work
This is how are I know zamians ,all they know is condemning, its hard to empress people who knows no thank you. Coz African milling is just one of the millers and this others what are they doing?
