SUMMARY

The study assess a number of potential agricultural alternatives to production and export marketing of tobacco from Malawi. It provides analysis and findings on current profitability of alternatives as well as potentials for employment and export earnings, as compared with tobacco. The social needs of employing a large number of workers currently engaged in tobacco production and the country's need for export earnings are thus taken into account. The study includes recommendations made by an Expert Workshop held in Blantyre, Malawi, on 21-22 July 1999 addressed to the private and public sectors. [English only]
