The launch marks a new initiative aimed at contributing to national food supply and economic activity.
Ambrose Lufuma unveiled the brand during the opening of the ZAF Expo held at Peter Zuze Air Force Base in Ndola.
Speaking at the event, Lufuma said the initiative demonstrates the Air Force’s commitment to supporting national development beyond its core defence mandate.
“The newly introduced ZAF Mealie-Meal is currently selling at K230 per 25 kilogramme bag and is expected to provide an affordable option for households while also strengthening the Air Force’s participation in productive ventures,” he said.
He added that the initiative is aimed at improving access to affordable mealie-meal for members of the public while supporting national food security efforts.
Meanwhile, Oscar Nyoni said the project will help make the staple food more affordable for ordinary citizens.
