This is contained in a statement released by the Ministry on the production estimates for the nation.

In a statement, the ministry says Rice production has increased by 9.8 percent, millet 8.9 percent, and sorghum at 3 percent saying all this is due to availability of seed, increased wetlands and government and other stakeholder programmes.

However, a statement says Fish production has seen a decrease from 202,092 Metric tonnes to 169,140 Metric tonnes representing 19.1 percent attributing the decrease to low catches, migration of fish, and severe water stress.

A statement says since November, 2019 to January, 2020, the country has received good rainfall and this is expected till March, 2020.

It says the ministry will be carrying out 2nd and Third Round of Agricultural production estimates survey in March and May,2020 and the results will be made available to all Malawians and other stakeholders saying the final estimates will determine actual production and confirm whether Malawi be food secure at both household and national levels.
