Malawian Minister of Agriculture, Irrigation and Water Development, Allan Chiyembekeza said Friday that the government has approved the cultivation of industrial hemp for trial purposes in the country.He told journalists in the capital Lilongwe that if the trials are successful, the crop could be grown in the country and support the National Export Strategy (NES).
"This could be the opportunity of diversifying the economy and widening the sources of foreign exchange earnings," he said.
He pointed out that the industrial hemp at hand is different from the Indian hemp popularly known as cannabis sativa that is prohibited.
The industrial hemp does not contain psychoactive chemical elements that affect people when smokes even though it is from the same family crop.
Recently, British envoy Michael Nevin suggested that Malawi should start growing industrial hemp for its economic growth.
