After independence in 1964 the country saw one-party state politics until 1994. Since then, Malawi has seen multi-party government, with occasional political and civil unrest. |
Malawi’s economy is based on agriculture, which accounts for over a third of GDP and 90% of export revenues. Agricultural exports are dominated by tobacco, tea and sugar, mostly from large commercial farms. Market liberalisation in the 1990s saw more smallholder farmers enter agricultural markets. Smallholder, mostly rainfed, agricultural production, particularly of maize, is a majority livelihood activity. In recent years Malawi has granted licenses for hydrocarbon exploration in the East African Rift Valley, including Lake Malawi, but to date there are no proven hydrocarbon reserves. | Malawi’s economy is based on agriculture, which accounts for over a third of GDP and 90% of export revenues.
