The Malawi Value Chains (MVC) Project, implemented by Adam Smith International (ASI), is one of three components of the Malawi Trade and Investment Programme (MTIP), a five-year FCDO-funded initiative which aims to break Malawi’s cycle of low growth through driving exports. The overall objective for MVC is to increase the productivity, quality, production, performance, and exports of macadamia and mango as well as mining products. Clusters of medium/large enterprises with high growth potential are purposively targeted, and specific initiatives aim to be innovative and disruptive and based on what is achievable within the political context, and what will have the greatest impact. Other complementary MTIP activities/components focus on increasing access to patient capital and cutting the time and costs of trade and logistics (Trademark Africa).
