ZNFU advises against prolonged ban on maize exports

Ndambo Ndambo

The Zambia National Farmers Union (ZNFU) has advised against prolonging the ban on the export of maize government announced last week.

ZNFU Executive Director Ndambo Ndambo says prolonging the ban could jeopardize the supply contracts local traders have entered into with players in other countries.

Mr. Ndambo says this could make it difficult for players in those countries to trust Zambian suppliers.

He however, states that the temporal export ban is good and should be used to ascertain whether the country has enough maize in stock.
