The Malawi Bureau of Standards plans to create a committee to ensure that local goods meet worldwide standards. Some Malawi products are rejected abroad because of poor quality. MBS official Gloria Meleka shared this news at ISO meetings in Blantyre.
Malawi wants to sell more goods around the world, but it first needs better standards. Foreign markets often turn away local products that are of low quality. The new committee will help companies make things that overseas buyers want.
The bureau saw great progress recently, with 411 companies earning quality certificates. Most new certified businesses come from the small business sector. People at the ISO meetings liked the plan to boost exports through better standards.
Better product quality means more money for Malawi through exports. Companies that meet standards help bring in taxes and foreign money. The MBS push supports Malawi 2063, the national plan for wealth and independence.
