Malawi's Mzuzu Coffee Association is set to start exporting its coffee to the United Kingdom from next month, the association's chief executive officer Harrison Kalua said Wednesday. Kalua says this is good news for the country which is battling to improve its export base.
Kalua said next year they are geared up for the exportation of coffee following a deal that they secured with a UK based company during the 20th International trade fair that took place in Malawi’s commercial city of Blantyre two months ago.
Recently another Malawian company also brokered a deal to export tea to Japan.
Kalua disclosed that they had four objectives for attending the recent fair one of them being to secure deals with foreign companies as well as promoting the consumption of coffee.
The Warm Heart of Africa depends solely on agriculture for its economy with tobacco and tea as the major cash crops.
