🌍 *Empowering Farmers for Export Success!*

The Malawi Investment and Trade Centre (MITC) had the privilege of delivering a presentation to over 100 farmers from Mchinji and Lilongwe during a farmer engagement meeting organised by CISANET under an Oxfam Malawi-funded initiative.

The session focused on equipping farmers with practical knowledge and market intelligence to access regional and international markets, including:

✅ Available export market opportunities within the region and beyond.

✅ The importance of working through farmer cooperatives to achieve the volumes required to meet export demand.

✅ Maintaining high quality standards and reliability to remain competitive in international markets.

Speaking during the engagement, MITC Trade Facilitation Manager, Mrs Tawina Mbalu, emphasised that access to market information is key to unlocking export opportunities. She encouraged farmers to collaborate through cooperatives to meet the quantity requirements of international buyers while consistently maintaining high-quality standards. She further highlighted that reliability in supplying quality produce is essential for building long-term relationships and trust with export markets.
