World Vision Malawi says it is committed to scaling up efforts in ending child marriages in the country. According to...
Kusowa chonena eti ! What arrangements have you made for the graduating students to acquire land, capital and agriculture equipment , when have you realised that farmers are trained in a university and how much support have you provided for the trained farmers. I think zimaterodi when one is sleeping on the job. Have you ever heard that we had educated farmers in Malawi owning estates, where are they today, what happened to their misfortunes, and why today the country depends on small holder farmers, 25 years without active commercial farming in the country yet you call it agro based… Read more »
Mr. President Sir, we should be talking about large scale farming or huge commercial farming at highest level. And how do you expect a newly graduate manage to raise huge capital enough to establish a serious commercial farm without economic empowerment first? Phase out fertilizer subsidy program and create a loans fund to support these young agricultural geniuses increase production. If you do this, I shall believe you are A REALISTIC PERSON, AN ENGINEER OF REAL CHANGE in Malawi.
EXCELLENT observation INDEED!!! But just as we have agriculturists letting the nation down, the OTHER IRONY is that we have a cohort of the so-called top-notch lawyers & economists who are presiding over the GRAND LOOTING & PLUNDERING of the country’s meagre resources. They go behind the scenes conniving, destroying evidence, faking blatant lies as documents to redeem fellow tricksters from conviction in courts of law. In other words STEALING in broad daylight. No wonder this country despite having the BEST of well-trained professionals in this African sub-region the country remains the poorest. Of course we shouldn’t continue to wonder… Read more »

Farmers are complaining & worried day and night due to absence of reliable & profitable markets for their farm produce. What will motivate fresh graduates to become “real” farmers Sir? We need reliable markets for our crops. Banning exports of farm produce willy-nilly is not helping matters either.
Bunda has been there for many years but its impact can not be felt on Malawian Agriculture.. I don’t know what so of knowledge to they gain?
A bwana you have hit a sweet spot. Supporting emerging young graduate farmers is the sure and fast way of taking Malawi economy forward. We have probably around 1,200 students (graduating in the last 5 years) from LUANAR with much needed skills in agriculture/modern farming. Of the 1,200 graduates probably 500 are natural entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, Malawi financial system is so rigid when it comes extending finance to entrepreneurs and therefore these graduate entrepreneurs have no way of raising capital. Can you just imagine if these 500 young entrepreneurs are given access to capital, are supported by govt (by arranging skill-transfer… Read more »
Should Chilima always follow the president? Is it not ironic that this is the guy who boasted that civil servants should not patronize Alms meeting unless the function involves them. Why then should he follow SPM even where it’s obvious that his presence does not add any value. What reform? My foot.
Real farmers??? And who are the fake farmers Sir???
