Emily Polack, senior researcher in IIED's Natural Resources research group, introduces Cuan Opperman, from the DFID-funded Malawi Oilseed Sector Transformation (MOST) programme, and Snowden Mbalafana, from the Cotton Farmers Association of Malawi, who shared experiences of incentive-based contract farming in Malawi.

The duo were presenting in a webinar on 'Incentive-based contract farming and agricultural commodities exchanges' organised by the International Institute for Environment and Development on 3 October 2018. 

They also looked at activities linking soy producers to agricultural commodity exchanges and cotton farmers to local ginners.
