President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera visited his 1,000-hectare Lombwa Estate today, located in the area of Senior Chief Mkanda in Mchinji District, as part of efforts to promote commercial farming and combat hunger in Malawi.
According to Agriculture Minister Sam Kawale, the president’s initiative focuses on boosting food security and creating employment opportunities.
“President Chakwera is championing commercial farming aimed at ending hunger in the country,” Kawale said.
The estate currently employs around 600 workers, cultivating key crops such as maize, soybeans, and sweet potatoes. This farming season, the president has dedicated 350 hectares to maize cultivation, the farm management confirmed.
Chakwera’s push for agricultural development aligns with his broader economic strategy to enhance productivity and uplift rural communities through sustainable farming practices.
