No suprises there.

I am sure that whoever was making the decision is experienced and knowledgeable enough to make good estimates. Even at an individual level, by the end of February, every farmer knows how well he has done and how much mondokwa he can afford to consume without jeopardising the final harvest. Rather than wait any longer, it is better to announce early enough to allow businessmen to make their plans. Malawi needs to export the maize chaka chino otherwise many people will not be motivated to farm again next year if they are not able sell the excess maize they will have this year.

Amalawi, let's thank God for the good rains this year.

for the rains let us be thankful and pray for the same next year. as for exploitation and abuse of the system let us hope there is little, too many suprises in store. its a jungle out there

Can we go back to primary school......... demand and supply.Look here I think the govnmt is right here they know we are to have bumper harvest while already traders are hoarding stocks of maize without demand while our neighbour (mozambique) is in need of the maize.

So let the traders export and create another market for this year otherwise the farmers will sell the crop at K2 /kg.what we need to advise the govmnt is to protect the admarc maize because we may see that maize going to traders.

Sukulu yake iti yomwe inu munapita adilo? What if the rain takes some time to stop, chimangacho sichiolera mmunda?
Why cant we wait till harvest. Tinangozolowera kugonera tea basi? This kind of thing will make the rich richer.

Zina zikamachitika inu?

Studa · Senior Member

i find it irresponsible to make a decision like that from an estimate.

Studa · Senior Member

ayamba kale kugulista!

Adilo · Newbie

What if the sun never shines again? What if we all die? What if ... What if....

We can say 'what if' about so many things, but we still plan for the future based on the likelihood of certain events. At the moment it is likely that Malawi will have a bumber maize harvest, so there is nothing wrong with making the decision now.

Studa · Senior Member

chikupangikachi ndi chibwana cha nchombo lende, whats the rush for, can't we wait until the harvest? let us wait and see as events unfold. i will not be suprised to see us buying the same maize at horrendous prices.

Let the maize be sold. I think it makes sense for the maize to be sold than be left to rot! After all it may fetch a better price now than later when maize shall be so much in abundance (at least according to the forecasts)

An'dyomba Humbe, mukuyendera iti? Zoona chimanga chigulitsidwe. Can we not learn from past events? Ngatichimanga sichigulitsidwa does it mean chivunda? Muli gulu la a geni atapange makobidi wa?
Here is Mikhe's prediction: We are going to buy that maize back at a higher price next year! And guess who makes a killing out of it? Anali limodzi amewa!

Studa · Senior Member

let us wait and see

Studa · Senior Member

anthu aja alimba mtima, akuti agulista 80,000 tonnes ya chimanga despite other areas underproducing the grain. the question still remains, why the rush? is there something to be lost if we waited till the harvest?

what measures have they put in place to ensure that only 80,000 tonnes of maize are exported since the country has a number of exit points? do we have a system in place that will close the tap when the figure has been reached?

my guess is, the set up is wide open to exploitation and we are going to export more than we are supposedto! tough times lie ahead for the poor village man.

Zinthu zomvesta chisoni kwa amikhe, what happens if we have some ill fate as a nation? Are we putting that in to account? Wina wake akufuna chimanga badly (it might be Zimbabwe at a guess) pachipanda apo wina azisaka osatimasewela. Still the consequense is imminent! Less maize for Malawi.
