Malawi is in talks with Ukraine, Brazil and Mexico to source corn, a staple food, as about half the African country’s population of 17 million faces shortages, a minister said.
“We are so certain about Ukraine,” Agriculture Minister George Chaponda said. “We are also in talks with Mexico and Brazil. However, we may have challenges with Brazil because our neighbors have already sourced a bigger chunk of corn from that country.”
