+ Contributes about 36% GDP
+ Accounts for about 87% of total employment
+ Supplies more than 65% of raw materials to agro-industry
+ Provides 64% of total income rural people
+ Contributes more than 90% of total export earnings
* Dualistic agricultural sector
+ Smallholder sector
+ Estate sector
+ One way transferability of land (smallholder to estate sector only)
* Major goals of Malawian agriculture have been food security (intensification) and commercialization
Decline of Agriculture in Perspective
* Agricultural growth declined from an average growth of 6.6% in the 1970s to 2% for most since 1980s
* The decline is attributed to: + Structural sectoral constraints (poor infrastructures, unfavorable weather conditions, reliance on rain fed agriculture, weak intra and inter sectoral linkages) + Impact of SAP on inputs and credit availability for smallholders (withdrawal of state – eg. ADMARC – leaving a gap) + Devastating impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic
