Malawi: Cyclone Freddy points to urgent need for climate-smart solutions in Malawi (The New Humanitarian) 

March 16, 2023


The New Humanitarian, in a report about the impacts of Cyclone Freddy tearing through Malawi, mentions IFPRI in relation to the efforts the Malawian governments have undertaken “to boost the yields of rain-dependent subsistence farmers – the backbone of the economy – through subsidy programmes that provide cheap fertiliser and improved seeds.”  

“In seasons when the weather has been good, these schemes have boosted maize production – the dominant food crop – but costs have spiralled, raising concerns over the sustainability of the programmes. It’s now cheaper for Malawi to import maize rather than the fertiliser to grow it, according to a study by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI).”
