The Cost Of Hunger In Malawi

Malawi has made significant progress in improving the health outcomes of children by reducing both the infant mortality rate and the mortality rate for children under 5 years of age. However, the decline in malnutrition is lagging progress. At the moment, underage children in the country are confused and show that long-term food and nutrition concerns are still spreading. High morbidity of malnutrition has a major impact on education and health effects.

Following the consignment of the African Union, the "African Hunger Cost Survey" received by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa and the World Food Program confirms the impact of children on malnutrition, education and the health of the national economy. This study highlights that this country is causing a major economic loss from a malnutrition point of view, the largest of which is the cost of losing potential productivity.

Ethiopia - once a symbol of crop failures and starvation - has increased food production over the last decade and the government says it will double again in 2010. Harvest of Malawi this year is twice that of last year. Ethiopia's strategy is to provide farmers with better seeds, more fertilizer, and hundreds of promotional agents to disseminate superior technology. Malawi began collecting 75% of farmers' fertilizer and seed costs. Many farmers now can feed their families and sell surplus agricultural products for the first time. Some of the progress is fortunate - good rain. But today's success will provide farmers with buffers and better tools to withstand the next drought.

Since that time, the program has been progressing every year. Various sources assert that the program is extraordinarily successful and calls it a "miracle".
