The organization of maize marketing in Zambia reflects the main objective of the system—supplying urban areas with cheap food. Maize purchased from farmers is sold only to the major milling companies, all of which are located in urban centers.

Rural retailers are allowed an explicit markup to cover transport costs back to rural areas.
