How important role maize played in Zambia？

The maize industry in Zambia plays an important role in local agriculture.

Zambia's maize production is affected by many factors, including weather conditions, planting area, and agricultural policies. In recent years, Zambia's maize production has fluctuated due to dry weather caused by the El Nino phenomenon. For example, preliminary survey results for the 2023/2024 crop harvest show that the amount of maize that may be harvested in the Solovetsky Administrative Region has dropped significantly, far below the level of the previous year. 

In response to the food shortage caused by the prolonged drought, the Zambian government has imposed restrictions on maize exports. This measure is aimed at ensuring domestic food supply, stabilizing food prices and preventing the food crisis from worsening.

With the growth of population and economic development, the demand for food crops such as maize in Zambia has been increasing. However, due to natural disasters such as drought, the domestic maize supply is tight, leading to an increase in maize prices.

Zambian maize flour plays an important role in Zambia's food culture and economic life.

Zambian maize flour is mainly made from maize kernels. maize is a widely grown crop in Zambia and one of the staple foods of the locals. During the production process, the maize kernels are cleaned, degerminated, sifting and milling to finally make super white breakfast meal and roller meal.

With the continuous development of Zambia's economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for high-quality maize flour products will continue to increase. Therefore, the application prospects of mechanical milling technology in Zambia are broad.
​

Many food processing companies in Zambia have adopted mechanical milling technology to produce high-quality maize meal. These super white maize meal not only meet the needs of the local market, but are also exported to other countries, bringing considerable economic benefits to Zambia.

At present, Hongdefa has milling machine installed&running in Lusaka, Kabwe, Livingstone, Lundazi, Kitwe, Solwezi, Ndola, Mongu etc. in Zambia.

Among the vast consumer groups in Zambia, thanks to the considerable profit margins in the market, the high preference of local people for cornmeal, and the active support and encouragement of the government, the owners of the mills have been able to rise rapidly and flourish. Many owners have shown strong growth momentum in the early stages of their operations, most of them purchase a second mill machine to expand business in a short period of running maize flour miller, in order to further expand production capacity, seize market opportunities, and meet the growing consumer demand.

One client from Kitwe first start with 50 tons of maize milling plant, this year we bought 240 tons of maize mill machinery to expand production.
