While it is great to hear such developments being a Malawian, I do feel that it is very important that local farmers and prouducer groups are not exploited as a result of margins and profits. There has to be regulations put in place to prevent and not paying lip service to WFTO conditions.
I am appalled that Value Added is NOT happening in Malawi. Scotland declared itself a Fair Trade Nation and clearly DOES NOT understand the 10 WFTO principles that underpin what fair trade stands for – a change in international trade rules! Just Trading has received financial support via grants and is now working with commercial companies to promote the rice in the UK – Business As Usual with a Feel Good label attached! Being a WFTO member and getting the new Guarantee System Mark or becoming a Fairtrade Licensee would ensure there are 3rd party audits. It seems that Trade… Read more »
Ndi zitenje kapena mpunga?
This rice should not be exported in bulk into the UK. Let these companies come and setup industries in Malawi which will create jobs for our people. Our people will do the farming; produce the packaging here; package the rice; and export it. There are a lot of downstream jobs that will be generated.

Chuka is allowing exporters to keep 100% of there proceed so it is of no benift to malawians, what is the point of exporting when exporters hoard the dollars and force the kwacha to devalue, we were better off during bingu economics of 2004-09.
sweet! at last, some progressive news about this scrap heap of a country. now if only we could market the lake as a premium tourist destination, we could take the market from mauritus, zanzibar and kenya…oh wait, i forgot that there will oil rigs on the lake soon……
Good news, tired of basmati rice. Bweretsani tidye dzakukaya apa.
Why is malawi full of dull things. The packaging is so unattractive for food??!!? How do you expect this to compete with rice from Taj Mahar. Please marketing guys wake up. Dont design for people “wakuthengere” and believe that the love these guys have for vyakukaya will the same love that strangers will have for your product. PLEASE DONT BE THAT NAIVE in your marketing guys. Wake up!!!!
Its like the guy in the picture was the designer and not a marketing person. Am sure if tasked this guy would even do better
