Market research in Malawi
Malawi’s economy’s strength is in its crop exports, namely tobacco. Thanks to its exports of the crop, Malawi has managed to maintain strong trade relations, allowing for constant inflow of foreign capital. The diversification of investments of estate owners has also greatly helped Malawi’s economy in recent years, allowing other sectors to flourish. Thanks to its rich soil, vast land space, and labor force, the agricultural sector is an instrumental part of Malawi’s economy.
About Malawi
Malawi is a landlocked country located in East Africa. It borders Zambia, Tanzania, and Mozambique. The country is made up of a number of different ethnic tribes, such as the Chewa, Yao, Lomwe. The official languages are English and Chewa.
Malawi’s capital, Lilongwe, is also the largest urban centre. Blantyre, in the south, is another notable city thanks to its importance and proximity to natural parks and preservation of history and culture. Malawi has a relatively youthful population, making it sensitive to global trends. The Covid-19 pandemic saw economic slowdown, but also allowed for the emergence and boom of a digital economy.
Why conduct market research
Malawi offers a unique set of opportunities for business and investors. As its young population enters the workforce, and the economy continues to grow and diversify, it has great potential to make your implementation in its market highly rewarding.
The country has managed long-standing peace, making it a less risky venture than some of its neighbors. Thanks to its stability, Malawi has entertained well-developed and stable trade relations with South Africa, China, India as well as the US. Finally, it is a very easy place to set up, with a swift process and relatively comprehensive administration.
