There will be no regulation of the price of maize and other cereals despite a growing shortage that has seen the local staple food hit Tsh110,00 ($47.9) per 100-kilogramme bag, up from Tsh65,000 ($28.3) last year.
President John Magufuli said on Wednesday that the government will not intervene and will instead allow market forces to regulate prices.
