This paper analyzes the trends in retail maize meal prices and the wholesale-retail
margins enjoyed by millers and retailers in Zambia since maize and maize meal prices were
decontrolled in the early 1990s. This note summarizes material from a broader study on Zambia’s
maize supply chain. The findings from this paper are designed to inform policy discussions aimed
at improving household food security and maize market performance in Zambia.
