By PRISCA LUMINGU in Chipata
THE Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) mealie meal being imported from South Africa is not meant for the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) but would be sold in Zambia’s border towns to ease the deficit of the commodity the country has been faced with, Mtolo Phiri has announced.

And Mr Phiri, the Minister of Agriculture has announced that the GMO mealie meal from South Africa would soon be in border towns as government has commenced the importation of the commodity.
Mr Phiri says the motive of importing mealie meal was to ensure that the border areas were flooded with mealie meal from South Africa to meet the demand.
