How to Get Benefits from Maize/Corn Flour in Zambia?
As we all know maize/corn flour milling plant business is a big market Africa countries, like Zambia, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, etc. Maize meal commonly known as “mealie meal”. In Zambian, maize is the most important staple crop, maize is mostly used as food, although it is also used for brewing and animal consumption. As a staple crop, most of the maize is milled and then boiled in hot water until it thickens like dough for eating. This staple food, known as nsima in Zambia, is very similar in its preparation to what is called to in Burkina Faso and ugali in Kenya and Tanzania, both serving as staple food.
Zambia Maize Production to Rise by 30% by 2025
Zambia is likely to increase its maize production by more than 30% by 2025, from the current 3m t to over 4m t. This was included in a recent outlook on the maize market by the Indaba Agricultural Research Institute (IAPRI). IAPRI indicates that the projected growth in maize production in Zambia will mainly be driven by yield increases rather than growth in the area planted under maize. Given the assumption of favorable weather patterns, maize productivity is expected to increase as a result of adopting improved technology by farmers such as use of improved seed and fertilizers. The increased production will be enough to meet Zambia’s domestic maize requirements while exporting the surplus production. Zambia’s domestic maize consumption was about 2.3m t in 2015 and is likely to rise to about 3.3m t by 2025 due to growth in the Zambian population and rise in their per capita income. As a result, domestic maize demand both for food use and livestock will likely increase as protein diets become more demanded by Zambian communities. Stress Tolerant Maize for Africa: Zambia Zambia is among the 12 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa expected to benefit from a recently launched Stress Tolerant Maize for Africa (STMA) project that will develop improved maize varieties with resistance to drought and diseases affecting maize production. The project will improve maize production by 30–50% for over 5m smallholder farmer households by the end of 2019 in the targeted beneficiary countries. To achieve this, the project will apply conventional breeding techniques to develop maize varieties and hybrids capable of resisting environmental shocks, including drought, low soil fertility, heat, pests and disease. Zambia Maize Currently (2016), 98% of the 1.5m smallholder households in Zambia cultivate maize, which occupies 54% of the 1.4m hectares of land under crop production. In addition, Zambia spends over 60% of the annual public expenditure on agriculture on maize input and output subsidies. However, in another report, IAPRI notes that the Zambian Ministry of Agriculture should promote crop diversification.

Zambia Has so Much Corn Yield, How We Can Get Profit From It?
Just in Zambia, the maize meal is more white, people like super white, the maize meal extraction is not high like Kenya. This will request to take the germ and the maize skin out of the maize meal by the Degerminator in the maize milling plant. In this section the main is the maize degerminator, which is to remove the germ and bran skin out. So it is the heart of the maize milling business, if this machine not good technology, no matter how good your other machines, your machine still could not get high quality breakfast meal ,mealie meal for Zambia people.
Then many factory boss begin to think how can I earn money?
If you want to make profits in corn milling industry, you must reduce the production cost, improve production efficiency and product quality, so that your products in the market have higher competitiveness, more people come to buy your product, so you can get higher profit margin. Under the impetus of modern production technology, fully automated production technology has been more and more people love and recognition. Through the full automation of production, all the production process is controlled by the machine, accurate numerical control, product quality is better. At the same time, through the production of fully automated, you can save a lot of human resources, which can reduce the expenditure of personnel. For example, a self - defined maize flour production line may require 10-12 people, while an automated maize flour mill plant requires only 2-3 people, which can greatly reduce the cost of personnel. In addition, full automatic production, has high production efficiency, at the same time of production, the capacity of automation production line is several times of non automated production line, which can greatly improve production efficiency, reduce production cost, so as to obtain more profits.
