Zambia to open talks with Kenyan traders over maize exports

Zambia has announced that it will hold talks with Kenyan grain traders, with the aim of exporting maize to the East African nation. Kenya is currently facing a biting maize shortage. According to the Zambian Finance Minister, Felix Mutati, the biggest challenge for his country is accessing the Kenyan market at competitive prices. This year, Zambia produced 3.6 million tonnes of maize, and had a surplus of 1.4 million tonnes- which is available for export. Kenya on her part has been facing maize shortages, due to what the government says, poor harvests, occasioned by a prolonged drought.
