Mutharika said his government’s strategy is to improve quality of products so that people from other countries should buy goods from Malawi.

“Let us produce quality goods in order to export to other countries and our strategy is to improve quality of our products. Let other countries buy from us because we produce best products,” said Mutharika.

He added that his government will support the private sector so that it becomes a highly competitive private sector adding that Malawi is not far from being a producing and exporting country.

According to Mutharika, there is need for Malawians to change the way they do business and be innovative as there is still room for creativity and innovations.

Mutharika further urged Malawians to buy locally made products as in doing so they are creating jobs for fellow Malawians.
