Malawi to have a fertiliser manufacturing plant: Mutharika secures deal in UK
Malawi is expected to benefit from an agricultural investment deal that President Peter Mutharika has struck in London, United Kingdom when he held talks with UK-based business tycoons from Israel, France, Ukraine and Morocco.
The team, which was led by Member of the Board for Innoselia Commercial Limited, Nir Gess and British Marine Limited Chairman (Non-Executive), Akbar Asifis, is bringing to Malawi a state-of-the-art fertiliser manufacturing plant.
Gess told the Malawi media after the talks that the discussion centred on improving agriculture in Malawi though provision of infrastructure such as the fertiliser manufacturing company.
Currently, Malawi imports its fertiliser whose price goes up almost every year.
“We discussed seriously about mining and building a fertiliser factory in Malawi among other things.
He said they would be looking forward to the time when all what they spoke would be implemented in the country as soon as possible.
A team to conduct a feasibility study on the fertiliser plant will soon come to Malawi.
Gess observed that once implementation of the project is done, Malawi will be a producing and exporting nation, saying no tomato, cucumber or potato will be imported to Malawi.
Not only will Malawi benefit in terms of agriculture prospects, but also in the tourism industry.
According to Asifis, the business will bring in diversified tourism investment to the country to complement efforts by the counterpart company.
Tourism and agriculture are listed as Malawi’s priority in the Malawi Growth and Development Strategy (MGDS) III.
“Apart from infrastructure development, [thus] agriculture and mining, we are bringing in tourism in a diversified manner which will make Malawi attract a lot of people.
“This will make very good impact for Malawi,” said Asifis.
British Marine, a diversified and integrated industrial group with interests in shipping, mining, logistics and commodity trading, is set to assist Malawi to improve and promote tourism prospects by acting as a promoter and facilitator for Malawi tourism in different parts of the world.

Nice topic Mr Presdent. We really need it as it is crucial for our daily needs …
We already have OPTICHEM. Maybe another one, probably in the Centre, won’t do any harm.
Are you serious! we depend on agriculture and we don’t have a fertilizer manufacturing company????? shaaaaaaaaa!!!!
Ceasefire, how many deals are we talking about here? Have lost count now, please help.
These are the same amwenye (Indians) who are buying our public lands like school lands, only that they go there earlier and present themselves to our president as Investors
Did we not have fertilizer manufacturing company in Malawi? Munatseka. Kodi anthu inu mukutiyesa zitsilu eti?
There is no fertilizer in Malawi I have been in logistics for so many years one of the items that makes transporters rich is fertilizer that is from beira port and South Africa
If the government was serious about building fertiliser manufacturing company. They should have think of national owned fertilizer making company and ask for expertise from people like me. It’s ashame we always want to look for solutions from foreigners while we have capable people within the community.
I bet he is telling them about “Mtambo and Trapence”. Lol!
Okayyyyy, I hope it will not end in dreams like the Nsanje port…now dam lang’ona!
Magetsi ake ati? Kodi chitsilu bwanji? Basics first you piece of shit!!!!! Basics! Electricity that is stable, laws that are obeyed by everyone including yourself and your band of thieves and miscreants! Chinkhalamba chakuba ndikupha chantundu wanji?
The problem comes in when the president would request for a cut from these investors like the case of Kayerekera, FDH etc
