Best thing should be to buy now @900 bob, store and then sell to ncpb when stores open in a few months @3200.

Meanwhile animal feed prices remain constant whether maize is 900 or 3200 bob. Same with unga.

Who has that capacity to store all those bags? Every county should have their own silos

True. Agriculture is devolved. So every county should have their own NCPB silos and buy and store their produce. Even those dengus za ngilu.
