FRA FAILS TO RECLAIM LOST MARKET IN DRC DUE TO CHEAPER GMO MEALIE MEAL FROM SOUTH AFRICA.

The most economical decision: Secure alternative markets immediately while fixing policy consistency for the long term.

*FACT*

Zambia has continued to lose the DRC market and may continue losing others due to inconsistencies in the agriculture system. In most cases, when there is an open export window and the private sector like grain traders and millers has secured those markets, government will either restrict or ban maize exports. While the restriction is good for national food security, it becomes bad for partners who believe and trust in you.

The DRC was a major market for our traders, but times have changed. DRC is investing in its own manufacturing industry, including agro-processing. This does not only affect Zambia as a whole but it affects the entire agriculture sector. Drought and policies have both contributed.

The real issue millers and traders are grappling with now is the kwacha’s appreciation against the US dollar. For importers the exchange rate is favorable, but for exporters, Zambian mealie meal becomes expensive. So who takes up the product?

Other countries like South Africa have been consistent with exports for years and we are now fighting for a limited market. It’s not about cheap GMO mealie meal alone. It’s lack of seriousness that we’ve shown as a country to neighboring countries through unpredictable bans.

*So, what makes economic sense right now:*

1. *Don’t abandon Congo, but don’t depend on it*: The Millers Association says forget Congo. The Chililabombwe DC says compete on price. Both are partly right. FRA cannot beat SA on price today with a strong kwacha and high production costs. But abandoning DRC entirely destroys decades of trade relationships. The economical move is to service DRC contracts we can still win, while pricing for margin, not market share.

2. *Unlock alternative markets fast*: With an estimated 4 million metric tons ex
