Abstract
This paper evaluates the impacts of maize exports from northern Mozambique to Malawi on producer and consumer maize prices in selected markets of Mozambique. Discomfort with such trade among policy makers throughout southern Africa is expressed at both the household and geographical levels through the related concerns that farm households will sell “too much” of their crop and that localities or the country as a whole will be unable to ensure the food security of the populace. We thus also briefly assess farmer food security strategies in Mozambique and their opinions regarding what the appropriate stance of government should be with respect to trade, especially during years of high prices.
