Hunger-stricken Malawi pushes East Africa maize prices to record high

The price of maize flour in the region has been on the rise recently, with farmers making huge gains, thanks to hunger-stricken Malawi.

Farmers in East Africa have chosen to hoard their produce, instead selling it to the attractive Tanzanian market, which is in turn pushing the produce to Malawi, whose citizens are staring at starvation that has seen the country declare a state of emergency.
