Abstract: Forest plantations significantly contribute to Malawi's economic growth through revenue generation, job creation, and forex earnings. However, the plantation forest sector represents untapped potential. In this study, we analyse the challenges that inhibit the development and growth of the forest plantation sector in Malawi. Additionally, we provide policy options to address these challenges and capitalise on the missed opportunities.
