MAIZE  #GrainMarket

Better weather conditions (like improved rainfall 🌦️). Higher planting area or better yields from farms. Improved farming practices or access to inputs (like fertilizer or quality seeds).

South Africa is currently experiencing a period of declining maize prices, offering welcome relief to households and to the livestock and poultry sectors that rely heavily on maize as feed.

Maize prices in Kenya have surged dramatically as competition intensifies between the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) and private millers — each vying for limited grain supplies.

Favorable weather conditions, improved farming practices, and expanded acreage contributed to higher-than-expected yields, ensuring ample supply for both domestic consumption and international trade.
