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 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.
