Despite having potential, Malawi’s wheat production has been characterized by low production and productivity. The prospects for scaling up wheat production in Malawi are based on the suitability of different areas for wheat production, increase in global prices and existence of large and growing domestic and regional export markets. Scaling production of wheat in Malawi will fail unless challenges are addressed. These include over-reliance on rain-fed production, limited access to improved varieties for wheat, fertilizers, capacity building in best agronomic practices, and lack of access to existing lucrative markets. There is need to conduct a value chain analysis with key stakeholders to assist in developing the value chain.
