Explanation

Malawi is a landlocked country located in southeast Africa. Historically, the territory was known as British Central Africa and later as Nyasaland before gaining independence in 1964 [4]. Politically, Malawi operates as a presidential republic with a unitary form of government, where the President serves as both head of state and head of government [4]. The country's economy is heavily reliant on agriculture, which accounts for approximately 30% of its GDP and over 80% of national export earnings, with tobacco being a primary export. Furthermore, the population remains predominantly rural, with more than two-thirds of the population living in extreme poverty and relying on small-scale farming for their livelihoods. In rural areas, the food sector alone employs about 93% of the population, confirming the agricultural and rural nature of the nation.
