The prices found on this page are calculated by discounting the Lilongwe or Blantyre price based on distance from Lilongwe or Blantyre, using an assumed ACE transport cost. Commodities in the Southern Region of Malawi use Blantyre as a reference price while for commodities in the other regions use Lilongwe as a reference price. For bulk commodities, these prices are the most consistent and reliable for actors in the value chain and hence offer better pricing over time. At present one standard transport cost is used (80mwk x km x mT).
