7.3: Export Led Growth
The long-term goal is to turn Malawi from being a net importer to a net exporter and effectively integrate it into regional
and international markets.
Other Information:
Medium Term Expected Outcomes: The medium term expected outcome is to increase the number of firms that are producing products
that are competitive on regional and international markets. The national export strategy will include promoting production
of goods and services where Malawi has comparative advantage to take advantage of the existing regional markets. There are
a number of constraints to achieve this and these are unfavourable macroeconomic environment, poor infrastructure, high transport
costs, unfavourable terms of trade, over-reliance on neighbouring countries for transportation of imports and exports due
to the land-locked nature of Malawi, and lack of direct flights to Europe seriously undermines the potential for both tourism
and the exportation of high value fresh agricultural and horticultural produce.
