  • What is Malawi oilseed sector transformation (most)?
  • The Malawi Oilseed Sector Transformation (MOST) programme aims to reduce poverty by facilitating changes in the cotton, groundnut, soybean and sunflower markets using a market systems approach.
  • Does Malawi have agro-ecological suitability for production of oilseeds?
  • Revised. Lilongwe: MoAFS. After considering the agro-ecological suitability of different areas in Malawi for production of oilseeds, two sets of analyses are done using nationally representative household-level data from the fourth Malawi Integrated Household Survey (IHS4) of 2016/17.
  • How many metric tons of oilseeds were produced in 2021/2022?
  • Over 600 million metric tons of oilseeds were produced just during the 2021/2022 crop year globally . Worldwide production of vegetable oils has exceeded 200 million metric tons/year during the last four years. Palm, soybean, and rapeseed are the most consumed oils.
  • Why are agro-ecological constraints affecting smallholder farmers in Malawi?
  • Given the general agro-ecological suitability of much of the land in Malawi for production of these crops, the principal spatial constraints to smallholder farmers engaging in their commercial produc-tion are more likely to be linked to market access and the costs producers would face in order to profitably sell their oilseed.
  • How many households participate in crop agriculture in Malawi?
  • Source: Benson, Mabiso, and Nankhuni (2016). Source: Author’s weighted analysis of 2016-17 Malawi Integrated Household Survey. Note: Observations (IHS4 survey sample households that engage in crop agriculture): 9,293.
  • Do commercially oriented households produce oilseed crops?
  • Although not presented in Table 3, commercially oriented households are between 50 percent (groundnut and soyabean) and 100 percent (sun-flower) more likely to produce oilseed crops than are households in the other categories.
