Economy



The economy in Malawi is quite bad, and things can still be improved. Malawi is very depended on other countries that donate money, since the poverty is so large there. Approximately 42 percent of the population has to survive with a dollar a day.The economy is very agriculture-based. The three most important export crops are tobacco, tee and sugar. The people cultivated vegetables and fruits such as cassava, legumes, rice, maize and sweet potatoes. Maize is a traditional thing in Malawi and today this is the biggest problem to solve when it comes to getting enough maize, because of the weather is so dry. Fish is also an important part of their income. Today Malawi has over 500 different species in Lake Malawi. Malawi also produces arts and crafts which are hand worked by inhabitants. They have craft markets spread around the country and also along the roadsides. Chief chairs are a popular item in Malawi and can be found in this shop, http://www.africaguide.com/shop/chairs.htm
