Maize, soya bean farmers duped (The Nation)

October 14, 2020


The Nation (Malawi) published an article on how farmers are dealing with prices for crops. Maize and soya bean farmers sold their crops below the government recommended farm-gate minimum prices of K200 per kilogram and K300 per kg according to an IFPRI-Malawi study, Report on a study to crowdsource farmgate prices for maize and soybeans in Malawi. The study shows that about   75 percent of maize farmers and 90 percent of soya bean farmers sold their crops below the minimum farm-gate prices. Farmers Union of Malawi also earlier observed that on paper, the prices are higher than those offered on the market but insisted that protection is needed to ensure that farmers benefit.
