Nearly 1,600 Tonnes Of Ukrainian Food Delivered To Malawi
“Even amid a full-scale war, Ukraine remains a reliable partner in ensuring global food security. Russia is trying to destroy this by striking Ukrainian ports and agricultural and food infrastructure. We are responding in the opposite way - continuing to produce food, export it, and help the countries and people who need it most,” Ukrainian Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food Taras Vysotskyi said.
The shipment was facilitated with financial support from the Government of the Republic of Korea. The humanitarian operation is being carried out in cooperation with the UN World Food Programme (WFP) and the Government of Malawi.
The Ukrainian aid is arriving ahead of Malawi's peak lean season, which traditionally runs from October through March. According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), published in August 2026, more than 1.9 million people in the country are already experiencing crisis-level food insecurity. This number is expected to rise to 2.6 million during the lean season.
