- Strategic Regional Positioning: Malawi is not part of the landlocked but well-connected via Mozambique and Tanzania to regional transport routes and benefits from trade preferences under SADC and COMESA. This creates expanded access to Southern and Eastern African markets.
- Rich Agricultural Base: The economy of Malawi is heavily dependent on agriculture and a key source of employment. Tobacco, maize, tea, sugar, cassava, groundnuts and horticultural produce are the key crops ensuring steady growth in agro-processing and value addition inputs.
- Abundant Freshwater & Fisheries: Lake Malawi is teeming with freshwater fish. Hence, one of Africa's largest lakes acts as the source, processing and potential for cold chain and exports.
- Emerging Renewable Energy Potential: Despite predominantly Rural Electrification (hydropower potential in Shire River) and Solar (for the southern half of the country), there is limited but growing governmental and donor interest towards grid and off-grid applications enabling the private sector to lead in distributed renewable projects and energy services.
Entrepreneurs can prioritise sectors that match Malawi’s resources and market gaps:
Malawian authorities offer targeted incentives to encourage investment:
In view of the consistency in terms of the resources used and the policy outcomes realized, the following products and services are the most competitive;... Besides, the Farmer Supply Chain, Off-grid energy solutions and export quality standards which will also be relatively competitive....
