Malawi’s President Peter Mutharika has long dreamed about transforming the country from importer to exporter.It is a daunting task considering that the country does not have an abundance of mineral resources.

But what Malawi does have is fertile land and fresh water in Lake Malawi along with a number of rivers. This makes the country rely heavily on agriculture for its revenue.

It was, therefore, a dream come true for the president when the China-Africa Textile Co. agreed to establish a factory in the country’s lakeshore district of Salima.

Unlike many farmers who gave up growing cotton because of poor prices, Banda kept going, hoping that the tide would turn.

To get production back to previous levels in order to be able to supply the factory optimally means cotton farmers will have to rise to the challenge, no doubt buoyed by this incentive.

Mutharika praised China for encouraging its investors to come to Malawi. “China has ful filled our dream; the dream to turn Malawi into a producing and exporting economy is becoming real,” he said.

The first phase of the company is expected to be completed in June 2019, and the project is expected to create 1,500 jobs in a country with unemployment rate hovering around 7 percent.

He added that the China-Malawi relationship is at a new historical starting point.“We are willing to make joint efforts with Malawi to synergize the Belt and Road Initiative with the Third Malawi Growth and Development Strategy (MGDS III),” said the ambassador. MGDS III is a medium-term national development strategy designed to help reach Malawi’s development aspirations enshrined in Vision 2020.

Malawi’s Minister of Agriculture, Irrigation and Water Development Joseph Mwanamveka said that apart from creating jobs, the textile factory will help boost the growth of the cotton industry. The textile manufacturing plant will provide a big market for cotton farmers, according to the minister.

Chairperson of China-Africa Textile Co.Ju Wenbin noted that the new factory will require an investment of $80 million, half of which will be used in the first phase and the remainder in the second phase. All the investment will come from the Chinese side.

Ju said the factory will bring foreign revenue of about $36 million per year.

The China-Africa Textile Co. is jointly invested by China-Africa Cotton Development Ltd. and Tianjin Tianfang Investment Holdings Co. Ltd. The factory will cover an area of 5.1 hectares with a total building area of 18,000 square meters and a scale of 70,000 spindles.

Good news for farmers

Tobacco is Malawi’s main foreign currency earner. But the change in smoking attitudes globally has resulted in more supply than demand, meaning lower prices.

The $80-million project will help Malawi produce a variety of textile products, including clothing, for export to countries such as the United States, India, China and some African countries.

“Many of my friends abandoned cotton farming because of lack of a market. Buyers were giving us low prices. Although it pained me, I kept going,” he said.

最近，一颗重达1404.49克拉（约0.5斤）的蓝宝石被斯里兰卡宝石鉴定机构认定为世界上迄今为止最大的的蓝宝石。这颗宝石估计最少1亿美元，约6.6亿人民币。它目前的拥有者并不想透露当初花了多少钱买下它。它已被取名为“亚当之星”，因为斯里兰卡人认为《圣经》里的亚当被赶出伊甸园后在斯里兰卡生活过。

Banda has been assured that he will have a steady market once the textile company starts operating, and hoped that he will be selling his cotton at better prices.

For 40-year-old Stephen Banda, an established cotton farmer, this is good news.

Tobacco Association of Malawi said due to the revenue decline, there is a need to diversify. Farmer James Mwandira from the country’s north district of Rumphi agrees.

“I have been growing tobacco for 30 years and have built a good house and bought livestock. But due to dwindling prices, I am now in deep debt, and I have started growing cotton. I am hopeful that when the China-Africa Textile Co. starts operating,things will be fine again,” he said.

Cosmas Lwanda, Chief Executive Officer of the Cotton Council of Malawi (CCM) told the Parliamentary Committee on Agriculture that the textile manufacturing plant would promote the dwindling cotton industry in the country.

Malawi’s cotton production has dropped from 100,000 tons in 2010-11 to just 6,000 tons in 2016-17, according to data from the CCM.

“We are doing much to bring direct foreign investments in to the country as a way of creating more jobs and turning around the economy,” said Mutharika, who presided over the factory commissioning on March 19.

“创投”项目的实施，涉及政府、债权人(现在主要是银行和担保机构)、新型农业经营主体和农民，各方利益诉求不同，影响因素也不一样。

“The factory will help increase demand for cotton, and farmers need to take up the challenge in order to supply adequate raw materials for production purpose. We view this as an opportunity for cotton farmers throughout the country that they will soon have a ready market for cotton produce,”said Lwanda. “They need to increase their capacity for value addition, other than just exporting raw cotton.”

Good move

Chinese Ambassador to Malawi Wang Shi ting said the successful completion of the textile factory project would help Malawi increase exports annually.

“The investment will no doubt make contributions to the growth of Malawi and most importantly, improve local people’s income and enrich their choices of clothes, thus promoting their sense of happiness and their living standards.”

Malawian economist Felix Jumbe described cotton as a multiplier effect crop to the country’s economic bene fit.

“Cotton has been one of the foreign exchange earners for the country; but of late, its contribution has been dwindling due to mismanagement. The investment by the China-Africa Textile Co. has the capacity to stimulate production as it will require 100,000 tons of cotton [annually], thus virtually buying almost all the cotton produced in Malawi. That means about 200,000 cotton farmers will bene fit from supplying the crop, and 1,500 people will be employed at the factory,” said Jumbe.

The economist, however, warned that although the factory will have enormous economic bene fits, it can only be successful if government engages farmers in its production and also empowers them in line with the demands of the investments made.

Despite the willingness of investors to consider Malawi, energy has been a major problem. The country’s hydro-electric power has not been generating enough Electricity according to demand. During the dry season, the Shire River, Lake Malawi’s sole outlet, on which the hydro plant is built, suffered from low water levels, while during the rainy season, silt and debris are having negative effects on the plant.

The Malawian Government has been looking at alternate sources of energy, with some experts suggesting the Malawi-Mozambique Interconnector Power Project.This would allow the country to have access to the Southern Africa Power Pool market through the Mozambique interconnected grid with Zimbabwe and South Africa. However, despite reports that financing for this project has been finalized early this year,there has been no progress to date.

There are also plans to establish the Kam’mwamba Coal-Fired Plant in cooperation with China Gezhouba Group, which is expected to have a generating capacity of 300 megawatts.

Jumbe acknowledged that energy can negatively contribute to industries although he expressed satisfaction with government’s initiative to address the situation.

“The government is trying to increase electricity capacity, and we hope that things will be normal soon. Energy is a key factor to serious investment,” he said. ca
