to earn dollars for debt servicing. Explains Ann Pettifor of the New
Economics Foundation: Just three months before the food crisis hit, Malawi
was encouraged by the World Bank "to keep foreign exchange instead of
storing grain" Why? Because foreign exchange is needed to repay debts.
Creditors will not accept debt repayments in Malawian Kwachas. Or indeed in
bags of maize. Only "greenbacks" or other hard currencies will do.
One of Malawi's key commercial creditors needed to have their debt repaid,
according to Malawi's president, who in a BBC interview said the government
"had been forced (to sell maize) in order to repay commercial loans taken
out to buy surplus maize in previous years". President Muluzi said the IMF
and the World Bank "insisted that, since Malawi had a surplus and the
(government's) National Food Reserve Agency had this huge loan, they had to
sell the maize to repay the commercial banks." So Malawi duly sold 28,000
tonnes of maize to Kenya. Under pressure from her creditors, led by the
World Bank and the IMF, Malawi exchanged maize -- her people's staple
diet -- for dollars.
And now, it is getting another loan to purchase genetically modified from
the United States. Sure the USAID has been working overtime to create a
market for its genetically modified food industry !
