Agriculture (General Purposes) Act (Cap. 65:05).

The Act grants regulation-making powers to the Minister for purposes of the proper regulation of activities in the agriculture industry not otherwise regulated by or under another written law. The Regulations may provide, among other things, for the licensing of buying, selling or otherwise marketing of agricultural crops, including the exportation thereof. Certain crops are excluded by this Act (or may be excluded by Regulations) from the definition of "agricultural crop". Regulations made under this Act and any Rules or Orders made under such Regulations may apply generally to the agriculture industry or to any particular agriculture crop or part of the agriculture industry and may also apply only to a particular part of Malawi.
