FRACTIONS: A STORY IN 4 CHARTS 4 MALAWI
As with the rest of East Africa, Malawi increased its pigeon pea area in 2024, leading to a projected production volume of approximately 100 thousand tonnes. According to Nagarwala, Indian policy has helped African farmers plan and plant certain crops, particularly pigeon peas. It is also worth mentioning that in Kenya farmers have also turned their attention to pigeon peas in 2024 and Nagarwala is forecasting an exportable volume of around 30 thousand tonnes in addition to the production it keeps for domestic consumption.
All in all, the five African nations could produce as much as 750 to 800 thousand tonnes in 2024/25.
