Malawi maize prices plunge as harvest season starts (CajNews Africa) 

April 10, 2020

CajNews Africa reported on the prices of the staple maize dropping in Malawi as a result of the onset of the main harvest season. This is a major boost for the majority as prices had been at their highest in years during the lean season. IFPRI-Malawi corroborated that the prices were declining as a result of the new produce trickling into the markets with the harvest season typically starting in the southern and gradually moving to the northern parts of the country. Also found in Times Malawi.
