“Going forward, farmers will access modern farming equipment to help them increase profitability,” he said.

The Malawi leader therefore thanked the partnerships realised with the private sector – Pyxus Agriculture Malawi and Philip Morris International, who are giving local mechanised farming services to entrepreneurs.

Meanwhile, the newly-commissioned tractor loan facility has today benefited the first 23 farmers of the many yet to come.
