马拉维面临日益严重的粮食安全关切,因为政府预测到8月玉米将降至每50公斤袋20 000克瓦查,这与实际相冲突,因为每袋肥料投入成本超过160 000克瓦查,农民难以负担供应。

与此同时,ADMARC在Monkey Bay以每袋65,000克朗的价格出售玉米引起了公众的愤怒,居民拒绝价格高于私人供应商的50,000科威特第纳尔,这凸显了政治承诺与市场条件之间日益扩大的差距。
Meanwhile, ADMARC’s sale of maize at K65,000 per bag in Monkey Bay sparked public outrage, with residents rejecting prices higher than private vendors’ K50,000, highlighting a widening gap between political promises and market conditions.

Over 100,000 metric tonnes of Zambian maize have begun arriving to ease shortages, part of a World Bank-supported effort to feed 4 million people, but skepticism remains over whether the government’s economic claims are credible or merely political rhetoric.
