SAIIA has undertaken two studies, with one focusing on macadamia nut value chains in Malawi, South Africa, and Mozambique, and the other focusing on oilseed value chains in Malawi, Zambia, and South Africa. This workshop aims to bring together relevant policy makers and stakeholders to discuss the opportunities and challenges for investment in these value chains and to provide sustainable policy recommendations that will help promote economic development in the region.

This event will focus on agro-processing value chain themes and trends:

• Recent investment in macadamia nut and oilseeds in Malawi, South Africa and Mozambique
• Market access and information barriers
• Integration of smallholder farmers
• Production and processing challenges
• The potential for regional value chains within Southern Africa

This workshop will include presentations from SAIIA researchers Asmita Parshotam and Chelsea Larkowitz, Lucilio Gerson Daniel, an independent consultant from Mozambique, and representatives from USAID Southern Africa Trade and Investment Hub. The workshop will also host respondents from Zambia and Malawi.
