What is the value chain of macadamia production in Malawi?
A value chain analysis conducted displays the current and future aspects of Macadamia production in Malawi. It has been found out that smallholder farmers do not possess the required technology to process the nuts, and therefore commercial estates take up the bulk of the value chains.
Why is Malawi a good place to buy macadamia nut?
As the area planted grew and advances in processing technology became more available, new factories were built including Kawalazi and Eastern Produce followed by Lujeri and others. Malawi was now an established macadamia producer and exporter with a reputation for high-quality nut production.
Can small-scale farmers farm macadamia nuts independently?
For small-scale farmers in Malawi, farming macadamia nuts independently is a challenge. But one Dutch-Malawian partnership project has found a solution. Using trees from Sable Farming, small-scale farmers can now enter the macadamia nut market. One of those farmers is Anna Kanyowa.
