DRIVING A SUNFLOWER VALUE CHAIN IN MALAWI

Overview, Key Issues, Challenges and Opportunities

Malawi Sunflower Production and Value of Exports

Improving the Energy Balance

  • Can Malawi develop a domestic sunflower value chain?
  • This policy briefing explores the potential for developing a domestic sunflower value chain (VC) in Malawi. It highlights the different but interconnected roles that various stages of the VC play in driving the sunflower industry as a whole in Malawi. Current bottlenecks and positive developments at each stage are examined.
  • What happened to sunflower production in Malawi?
  • Sunflower production in Malawi peaked in the 1990s but collapsed when the only significant buyer left the market and prices plummeted. This history still informs a lingering pessimistic attitude around sunflower production in Malawi. Sunflower oil is sold unrefined to local communities by community crushers.
  • What should be done to promote sunflower production in Malawi?
  • To promote sunflower production in Malawi, the processors currently invested in Malawi should work together with the government, extension officers, NASFAM and FUM to promote the benefits of growing sunflower. Sunseed Oil should actively market the new margarine factories in Malawi to alert producers and processors to the potential of sunflower as a consumer product.
  • How much sunflower does Malawi produce annually?
  • Malawi's annual production of sunflower hovers around 11,000 metric tonnes (mT) despite the increased demand of sunflower at local and international markets. The country's processor requires around 30-40,000 mT of sunflower seed annually.
