The Civil Society Agriculture Network (CISANET) has expressed dismay on the maize price being offered by Agricultural Development Market Corporation (Admarc).
This is coming at a time when some quarters are suggesting that the entire management of Admarc should resign to pave way for investigations into the scandalous importation of 100,000 metric tonnes of maize from Zambia to Malawi.
And emerging reports are that maize prices are very high at Admarc deposits thereby forcing people to buy from vendors who are selling it at a lower price than that of Admarc.
Speaking to Malawi24, Executive Director for CISANET Tamani Nkhono Mvula said the pricing of maize at Admarc is confusing and it is beyond the reach of a common Malawian.
”The issue about maize pricing is really disturbing as currently the maize at Admarc is way beyond the reach of a common Malawian and the argument being put forward by Admarc is not convincing,” said Nkhono Mvula.
Nkhono Mvula further said that it is also disturbing to hear reports from other sources of the shady deals between Admarc and Kaloswe in Zambia which led to the overpricing of the maize.
According to Nkhono Mvula it does not make sense that Admarc is trying to sell the maize at a price people cannot buy saying it is for them to be able to pay back the loan.
He also said that this will result in increased levels of poverty among Malawians while a few benefiting from the chaos becoming obscenely rich.
He predicted that the maize price is likely to go higher when the stocks on the market reduces.
Meanwhile Facebook sensation Mopo Jere has urged President Peter Mutharika to dissolve the entire management of Admarc on allegations that there is maize gate at Admarc.

This is good otherwise if ADMARC’s maize is cheaper all the maize would have been taken
I AM VERY SORRY POOR MALAWIAN WHERE IS LEADERSHIP WHO GONNA TAKE CARE MALAWI? VERY SAD WHERE THEY GONNA FIND MONEY FOR HIGHER PRICE TO FEED FAMILY BUT ALL THE TIME WE CHOOSE LEADERS FOR OUR POOR LIFE GOD KNOWS NO MATTER WE DIE POOR WITHOUT TASTE GOOD LIFE.
Not good.
Changachanga chidaolera pa msalu, ukakwera pa msana pa njobvu usamati kulibe mame, mdya makoko saiwala, kuno nkunja kudayanja lichero, chosamva adachiphikira mmasamba, namalira msamamuyanga pakamwa. Olo mdima ukule kunja kucha, olo mtsinje ukule tiwoloka.Malawi galamuka kwacha tigwire mpini tikolora zathu pompano.
what’s going on? eish this government! !!
This is where, when, why and how I would challenge and bet. Dont underestimate Vendors, they have enough stock to sell till 2018. And this is the time they had been crying for, to sell without bottlenecks. And we have maize flower both from here and Zambia, why should I go buy something costly that would end up while milling in a maize mill? People in the villages are so smart and they know this mathematics of what happens after milling a 1kg maize bought from ADMARC. GOD is clever look at how much rains he is giving us, do you think he is just giving? No, to bail out the needy sooner than before. Please remove those cards on your chest and play them in a proper manner.
Chiolela komko
Zikudabwitsadi, kaya boma-lo silidziwa izi?
No wonder, incidences of cassava tuber thefts along the Lakeshore district of Nkhotakota is on the increase! Making a u-turn in reducing the price of maize to bail out the multitude of its citizenry will highly be commendable
