Why is sunflower so popular in Malawi?

More than two decades ago, Sunflower ¨C a crop with large golden flowers grown for its edible seeds which yield oil ¨C was in high demand. The Sunflower sector in Malawi was booming. For Phiri, as a smallholder farmer he was within reach of making a fortune. He had produced a lot of sunflower from his farm in Chitipi, Lilongwe.

How much sunflower does Malawi produce a year?

Despite the increased demand of sunflower at local and international markets, the national production levels are still less inspiring. Available statistics show that the Malawi¡¯s processor annual demand for sunflower seed hovers around 30-40,000 metric tonnes (mT). But the country only manages to produce an average of 11,000 mT per year.

Why are sunflower prices still unattractive?

Much as demand of sunflower is on the increase, prices remain unattractive most of the times. Malika is still keeping last year¡¯s yield amounting to 1900 kilograms (kgs). She awaits an improvement in market prices to sell the yield, which is equivalent to 38 bags weighing 50kg each.

Why is the production of sunflower decreasing?

Since early 90s, production of sunflower has been decreasing due to lack of markets for farmers. The acquisition of the raw material from outside the country by the sole major processor, Unilever, literally killed the sunflower sector. ¡°Seed companies, that were even few that time, stopped supplying the market with planting seed.
