You are spot on colonial crops. Malawi produces the best rice in the region... We can simply strategize and produce rice for the region but guess what?.....
You know, I had not thought of rice, and you are absolutely right! I still love to this day Kilombero rice! Malawi has the most arable land that still has yet to be tapped into. Not forgetting the endless water supply
Yet we wait for rain like we’re expecting manna from heaven. We are literally drowning in potential. It’s like sitting next to a buffet and waiting for someone to bring you food.
I loved this discussion. We have so much potential as Africans and Malawians, in particular, but our education systems and understanding of things has made us to focus on the wrong things. We are suffering in abundance because we have not understood how to harness the potential we have to harvest more and be the food basket of the region with our abundance of arable land and perennial rivers; to be producers of parts and materials and not mere exporters of raw materials and minerals. I think we need to rethink our education to open our eyes to understanding the economics behind all this power and politics. I totally agree with your view that every student and professional should have a basic understanding of economics, regardless of whatever field they are in.
