Wording:
The assignment is to analyze to what extent tobacco contributes to the development of the people of Malawi.
Time:
hours
Introduction:
In many countries, in particular African countries, agricultural production has been<br /> instrumental in creating development for the population. Considering that the state<br /> is responsible for the promotion of a stable food supply for the population, and that it<br /> needs to ensure the creation of wealth and benefits for the majority rather than a<br /> minority, it is necessary to regulate agricultural policies.<br /> <br /> Despite Malawi having succeeded in the production of tobacco, the population is<br /> still suffering because the results of this production have been of little benefit. It’s<br /> evident that the tobacco farms and industries use a lot of manpower, but the workers<br /> end up losing out because they are paid paltry wages which don’t compensate them<br /> for their work. They spend a long time producing tobacco instead of food staples.<br /> Let’s face it. Malawi has had a problem with food security, and this issue should be<br /> a great challenge to the government to create sustainable agricultural policies for the<br /> majority of the population.<br /> <br /> In 2000 Malawi was the 10th largest producer of tobacco in the world. Around 99%<br /> of the tobacco produced in Malawi is exported, and 80% of the workers are<br /> employed in the tobacco industries. It is estimated that 75% of the production is<br /> carried out by small farmers. Agriculture constitutes 1/3 of the GNP and represents<br /> approximately 90% of export income.<br /> <br /> As well, the multinational corporations and farmers, besides paying very low wages,<br /> use child labor so they can pay even lower wages. Another factor is that tobacco<br /> growth in Malawi is promoted to the detriment of food staple growth which results<br /> in frequent pockets of starvation, necessitating purchasing flour and beans from<br /> neighboring countries, above all Mozambique.<br /> <br /> The little money that the population makes from the sale of tobacco, or from the<br /> salaries earned in the tobacco industries, is all spent purchasing grain from<br /> neighboring countries, and from this fact it can be concluded that the population<br /> benefits very little from the production of tobacco.<br /> <br /> In view of this, it can be concluded that the benefits from tobacco are directed at the<br /> multinational corporations and the government. However we should also consider<br /> this second question: “Why produce tobacco instead of necessary food staples in<br /> view of the fact that tobacco is detrimental to people’s health”?<br /> <br /> We invite you to learn more about the production of tobacco in Malawi.
Directive:
1. Read the files: F1 – F3. Take notes.<br /> <br /> 2. Write down points including benefits as well as backdraws for growing<br /> tobacco. How does the concept match development and sustainability for the<br /> population.<br /> <br /> 3. Write down point how you can see what viable alternatives there are for<br /> Malawi in the production of tobacco that would benefit the population.<br /> <br /> 4. Present and discuss the point in a group. Conclude on the discussion.<br /> <br /> 5. Send you main points from the discussion to your teacher.
