The New dawn government has through the Zambia National Service (ZNS) established a Milling plant the Eagles brand Mealie Meal.

As a mitigating factor to the skyrocketing prices of Mealie Meal in the country the Eagles brand has been selling at lower prices. Breakfast K25g has been selling at K280 whereas Roller MEAL as low as K150.

Meanwhile Government has placed a ban on reselling and bulk purchasing the Eagles brand Mealie Meal.
