 <\/p>\n

Malawi is nicknamed \u201cThe Warm Heart of Africa\u201d because it is known to have many warm-hearted people. However, it is also known as one of the least developed countries in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In this article, the Warm Hearts Coffee Club (which handles Malawian coffee), will be introducing what kind of country Malawi is by explaining the country\u2019s nickname, public security, people, language, industry, cuisines, children\u2019s education, the poverty conditions, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

1.The Warm Heart Of Africa<\/h2>\n

\"\"
\nUnfortunately, whenever a person thinks of an African country, they tend to think about things with a negative connotation, such as how there are so many wars or that the public security isn\u2019t stable.<\/p>\n

However, Malawi is nicknamed \u201cThe Warm Heart of Africa\u201d and is known to have people with a warm and friendly personality.<\/p>\n

Although there were a few minor disputes after gaining independence from the United Kingdom in 1964, there has never been a war in Malawi.<\/p>\n

Not only that, the country that the JICA (which is a Japanese agency that\u2019s whole purpose is to support socioeconomic developments of developing countries) has sent the most members to is Malawi. The reason why so many people visit Malawi could be because of the good public security and the kind-hearted people.<\/p>\n

2.Malawi\u2019s flag and it\u2019s meaning<\/h2>\n

\"\"
\nThe black color in Malawi’s flag represents the African people, the red represents the blood that was shed during the fights for freedom, and the green represents Malawi’s rich nature. Additionally, the rising sun represents Malawi\u2019s development after gaining independence. <\/p>\n

3.Malawi\u2019s language<\/h2>\n

The official languages of Malawi are English and Chichewa. Since it used to be a British territory, English is generally spoken in urban areas and major cities. There are also many other different languages Malawi people speak depending on their region and tribe. For example, in the north, they speak Tongan, in the central and southern regions, they speak Tumbuka, and some tribes speak Yao.<\/p>\n

4.Malawi\u2019s natural environment<\/h2>\n

\"\"
\nMalawi is full of beautiful nature and thriving ecosystems. For example, Lake Malawi (which is 1.5 times the size of Shikoku Island, and about 45 times the size of Lake Biwa) which covers 1\/5 of Malawi\u2019s territory. The water in Lake Malawi is crystal clear and is home to more than 1000 species of fish. It can also reach a depth of 706 meters, which is the second deepest body of water in Africa, and the sixth deepest in the world. Not only that, Lake Malawi National Park, which is located at the southern end of the lake, is registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. <\/p>\n

Because of the size and the white sandy beaches, Lake Malawi looks identical to an ocean. It is known as a resort spot and there are many lodges and hotels to spend your vacation, and places to dive and snorkel as well. Since a lake is nearby, you can also eat delicious seafood dishes. Malawi is also home to many safaris, and was actually the first country to offer rhino safaris in Africa.<\/p>\n

About 200 kilometers south of Lake Malawi is Mt. Mulanje, the highest mountain in Central Africa and the highest point in Malawi. It stands at 3002 meters, which is slightly shorter than Mt. Fuji. Mt. Mulanje is a popular hiking and mountain climbing spot, and there is even a lodge on the mountain.<\/p>\n

The trail is not maintained for hiking and climbing so there is a lot of rocky terrain. This means you can climb on natural trails and be able to experience the authentic natural environment.<\/p>\n

5.Malawi\u2019s industry<\/h2>\n

Agriculture, along with the rich natural environment, is the main source of income in Malawi. 90% of workers in Malawi are engaged in agriculture, producing and exporting tea, sugarcane, coffee, and tobacco.<\/p>\n

About 90% of the population is also engaged in agriculture, and the independent farmers grow a variety of crops such as maize, beans, rice, cassava, tobacco, and peanuts.
\n*Cassava: The raw material of tapioca. The Japanese name for this is \u201ctaro tree\u201d.<\/h5>\n

5-1.Malawi\u2019s coffee industry with over 140 years of history<\/h3>\n

Coffee was first introduced to Malawi in 1878 because Scottish missionaries brought a coffee tree from the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh to the southern Blantyre region of Malawi. By the year 1900, coffee became one of Malawi’s most valuable exports, and is now cultivated throughout the country.<\/p>\n

The Misuku region, located in northern Malawi, is the most famous production area for coffee. Even though it\u2019s a tropical area, the highlands are relatively cool, creating a temperature difference that is ideal for coffee cultivation. Malawian coffee is not well known in Japan, but it has an established reputation among coffee lovers, and the Warm Hearts Coffee Club handles Malawian coffee.
