Cents With Sense | Fertiliser, Finance, and the Future: Can Mutharika’s Plan Feed Malawi’s Economy?

Loading player...

President Arthur Peter Mutharika’s announcement to reintroduce the Farm Input Subsidy Programme (FISP) has sparked both hope and caution.

Yet, beneath the optimism lies a pressing question: can a country wrestling with 28.2% inflation, forex shortages, and a debt mountain of K21.6 trillion afford such generosity? While the plan promises to feed the people, it also tests whether Malawi’s fragile economy can carry both compassion and cost.
Is this bold move the boost Malawi’s finances need — or another strain on an already stretched system?
