- Malawi's Super Harvest Proves Biofuel Critics Wrong
- 4 December 2007, Biopact
- Malawi's harvest of biofuel crops was large enough to have replaced its entire consumption of oil and still allow exports to the world market.
- This year, Malawi is selling corn to the UN's World Food Program and is exporting hundreds of thousands of tons of corn to its hungry neighbors. Had it decided to turn it into biofuels, it would have replaced all its imported and expensive fossil fuels all at once and become entirely oil independent (Malawi consumes around 5,500 barrels of oil per day).
