Mchinji, town in west-central Malawi. The town was originally a settlement around the colonial defense post of Fort Manning and now serves as an agricultural centre and a customs and immigration station on the Zambia border. The district in which it is situated consists of undulating grassland broken by the Mchinji Hills. Population is sparse, and transport systems are not well developed. Much of the population supports itself by a subsistence economy. Pop. (2008 prelim.) 16,452.
