In a baffling twist that raises urgent questions about government oversight, Malawi is reportedly exporting maize to Zambia through Mchinji District—despite a formal maize export ban and ongoing plans by Lilongwe to import the very same staple from its neighbor. The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) confirmed in its November 2025 Maize Market Report that “large quantities of maize started flowing out of the country through Mchinji border towards Chipata.” Yet, IFPRI also notes that Malawi remains dependent on imports from Tanzania, Zambia, and Mozambique to stabilize its local markets. The anomaly exposes a glaring disconnect: while officials publicly insist the export ban safeguards national food security, maize continues to leave the country unchecked.
