Minister of Agriculture Sam Kawale has urged players within the agricultural value chain to take full advantage of The Malawi Agriculture Investment Forum by exploring avenues that can propel the country’s economy.
He was speaking in Lilongwe on Friday when he opened the forum, which has been organized by the Malawi Investment Centre with the support of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
It has brought together those that have an interest in the agricultural sector.
He emphasized on the need for collaboration between the government and the private sector.
“Our agenda today is to empower agriculture sector players to attract sector investment and explore opportunities for capital investments in various value chains,” he said.
He added that the ministry has already developed investment proposals on rice, Banana, dairy fisheries and aquaculture value chains that were presented at a global gathering in Rome, Italy.
