Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Agriculture expert Alfred Osunsanya has warned that lack of political will may frustrate the Malawi-South Sudan trade deal and affect earnings for the country.<\/p>\n

Osunsanya wrote on his social media page that, given the size of Malawi\u2019s economy, this deal should have received intense support as it would transform the country\u2019s fortunes.<\/p>\n

He suggests that Malawi should have been on the money markets in New York, London, Milton Keynes soliciting loans in billions to transform the Salima-Nkhotakota-Mangochi basin into an agricultural zone.<\/p>\n

\u201cA blueprint for a deal like this one should have international consultants with agricultural economics and technical planning skills on large agricultural projects, technical capacity building within our country to shadow the consultants on the planning and execution of the project,\u201d Osunsanya said.<\/p>\n

Ministry of Trade and Industry spokesperson Mayeso Msokera said the onus was on the private sector to make the most of the deals. \u201cThe government is undertaking a number of programmes to facilitate increased production of agriculture produce.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe expect that with the passage of time, we will increase our exports to that country; we are looking forward to the private sector to engage the Malawi Investment and Trade Centre on what they can do to contribute to production aimed at satisfying that demand,\u201d Msokera said.<\/p>\n
