Malawi has received a further 370 metric tonnes of maize from the Government of Zimbabwe as part of ongoing relief efforts following a food crisis caused by floods and prolonged dry spells that disrupted crop production during the just-ended growing season.
The maize delivery is the second tranche of a 1,000-metric-tonne donation pledged by Zimbabwe and officially handed over to the Malawi High Commission in Zimbabwe in January this year.
Zimbabwean High Commissioner to Malawi, Nancy Saungweme, formally handed over the consignment, which was received on behalf of the Malawi Government by Secretary to the President and Cabinet, Justine Saidi.
Speaking at the handover, Saungweme assured Malawians that additional relief support is forthcoming, indicating that another tranche of maize is expected to arrive in the country soon.
