I am not an economist your calculation is correct and it means that last years prices were better than this year….Total misleading
Just out of curiosity if we divide 52mil by 39mil kgs we get an average price of $1.33/kg and if we get and we work out the same for last year we get $1.44/kg unless my math is wrong this article is misleading……
Yes indeed and it doesn’t say the yield position of the crop for year to indicate whether there will be an increased gross earnings.
The writer is talking in relative terms ie The content of the article explains that Malawi has sold US$16 million more than last year same time (these are year on year comparisons).. However, the heading of the article is indeed misleading. Its just that the quality of Malawi journalists leaves much to be desired. They lack critical thinking skills therefore unable to analyse situation effectively.
Kanchenga, totally agree with you on that , FYI we produced less than last year, when you factor in low average prices we should brace ourselves for tough time ahead. You could think its all rosy from this article. Madzi afika pakhosi.
