      abstract = {The successive maize bumper harvests experienced by Zambia  in recent years mean that the country has to find long  lasting and sustainable ways to deal with persistent maize  marketing challenges facing the smallholder farmers. The  government has continued to struggle with the price-dilemma  where they would like to keep the price of maize grain high  for the maize producers, while at the same time try to  maintain low mealie-meal prices for the consumers.
In the  process, the government has continued to alienate the  private sector, which if promoted would help broaden the  market for maize and save the national treasury millions of  the Kwacha Rebased (K).},
