Modern AgriTech advancements include digital transformation, artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, precision farming, and integrated supply chain management. These technologies enhance efficiency, using AI for crop management, drones for monitoring, and data analytics to optimize resources. This leads to significant waste reduction. This paper examines how AgriTech enhances agricultural productivity, improves resource efficiency, optimizes supply chains, and enables datadriven decisions among smallholder and commercial farmers in Malawi. It also considers how AgriTech affects society and the economy, such as helping produce enough food, creating rural jobs, helping farmers cope with climate change, and ensuring economic growth benefits many. Additionally, the study analyses key drivers, challenges, and policy implications for AgriTech adoption in Malawi. The paper reviews current and expected trends to forecast how AgriTech could change farming before Vision 2063. The study finds that AgriTech holds strong transformative potential for Malawi's agriculture: precision farming, AI-driven monitoring, and digital supply chain platforms can meaningfully improve crop yields, reduce post-harvest losses, and expand smallholder market access, yet adoption remains constrained by poor rural infrastructure, high technology costs, low digital literacy, and fragmented policy frameworks. The paper recommends prioritising investment in rural ICT and energy infrastructure, developing affordable and offline-capable solutions suited to lowconnectivity environments, strengthening data governance and cybersecurity frameworks, and enacting targeted AgriTech regulations to attract private investment and accelerate inclusive digital transformation aligned with Malawi Vision 2063.
