DOWA-(MaraviPost)-The fertilizer manufacturing company under construction in Dowa is set to commence production by April next year, bringing hope to Malawian farmers.
Napoleon Dzombe, owner of Mtalimanja Holdings Limited, said the factory will produce about 40 metric tonnes of fertilizer per hour, enough to meet the country’s demand in just 150 days.
“The installation of manufacturing machines is complete, and construction works are expected to be finished by January 2026,” Dzombe said. The factory aims to ease fertilizer scarcity and reduce import costs.
“Our goal is to ensure Malawian farmers have access to affordable fertilizer, boosting agricultural productivity and food security,” Dzombe added.
The factory’s production capacity will significantly impact Malawi’s agricultural sector, which relies heavily on fertilizer for crop yields.
Malawi requires over 611,000 metric tonnes of fertilizer annually to meet farmers’ needs.
“This is a game-changer for Malawi’s agriculture,” said a local farmer,adding that, “access to affordable fertilizer will increase our yields and improve livelihoods.”
The factory’s completion will also create employment opportunities and stimulate local economic growth.
Mtalimanja Holdings Limited is committed to supporting Malawi’s agricultural development and contributing to the country’s economic growth.
