Import ban
Description
Banned maize imports with immediate effect, suspending import licences for maize grain, maize meal and other maize products. The measure aims to support domestic farmers and millers, as the bumper harvest forecast in 2021 is estimated to more than cover national consumption needs in the 2021/22 (April/May) marketing year.
