CHIEF MADZIMAWE WELCOMES MAIZE PRICE
By Ruth Chayinda-
Chief MADZIMAWE of the Ngoni people has praised government for increasing the price of maize which is now pegged at 280 Kwacha per 50 kg bag.
Chief MADZIMAWE says this will empower the farmers to increase their maize production due to the favourable price.
The traditional leader has also advised farmers not to sell all their maize produce but reserve some for home consumption.
Chief MADZIMAWE further disclosed that most farmers in the 2022/ 2023 farming season planted other crops such as Soya beans than maize.
He however said most farmers did not get the expected yields of Soya beans due to the partial droughts experienced in some parts of the country .
