The Malawi Bureau of Standards(MBS) has urged companies in the country to keep making high-quality products that are marketable both on local and international markets.
The call was made by MBS Board Chairperson Dr. Davline Chokazinga during the 2024 quality certification awards ceremony held at Mount Soche Hotel in Blantyre on Monday.
“As MBS, we are urging all companies in the country to keep making high-quality products so as they are marketable both on local and international markets. Low quality products or goods cannot find space on the international market.
‘’These awards today motivate businesses to keep up their good work since it contributes to the nation’s economic growth. The acceptance of our products abroad leads to a growth in forex within our nation,” he said.
Chokazinga warned that any company found not producing high-quality products is at a high risk of having its quality certificate revoked.
On her part, MBS Director of Quality Assurance Services, Grace Chaonamwene Meleka expressed excitement over the increase in number of companies and business operators who are getting quality certificates from the bureau.
