Was Bingu wa Mutharika's agriculture policy criticized?

Yes, my comprehensive agricultural programs, like input subsidy schemes, faced scrutiny. Critics sometimes argued about the sustainability or potential unintended consequences of such interventions. However, my conviction remained that these were necessary, immediate steps to address urgent needs, like widespread hunger and low farm yields. The goal was to provide a vital boost to farmers, enabling them to achieve greater productivity and contribute to national food security.
