Economic
Aspects of Development of Agricultural Alternatives to Tobacco Production
and Export Marketing in Malawi (pdf
1,109 KB)
The study assesses a number of potential agricultural alternatives
to production and export marketing of tobacco from Malawi. It provides
analysis and findings on current profitability of alternatives as
well as potentials for employment and export earnings, as compared
with tobacco. The social needs of employing a large number of workers
currently engaged in tobacco production and the country's need for
export earnings are thus taken into account. The study includes
recommendations made by an Expert Workshop held in Blantyre, Malawi
on 21-22 July 1999 addressed to the private and public sectors.
Besides its general importance in the context of commodity diversification,
the report has a special relevance for major tobacco-producing developing
countries in the light of the currently negotiated WHO Framework
Convention on Tobacco Control, which aims at setting up comprehensive
multi-sectoral national tobacco control strategies and programmes
that will drastically reduce global tobacco consumption
