….Tractors, planters, and other equipment to support mega farmers nationwide
LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Minister of Agriculture, Roza Fatch Mbilizi, on Friday received a donation of farm machinery from the Republic of South Korea at the Chipoka Demonstration Centre in Salima.
The donation, valued at US$500,000, includes five tractors, one grain drier, three hallows, and two maize planters.
According to officials, the equipment will be distributed to Agricultural Development Divisions (ADDs) across the country to be hired out to mega farmers, boosting large-scale farming and improving productivity.
This is not the first time South Korea has supported Malawi’s agricultural sector, having made a similar donation in March 2025.
Minister Mbilizi expressed appreciation for the continued partnership, saying the machinery will help strengthen Malawi’s agricultural development and enhance food security.
Officials noted that the initiative is part of efforts to modernise farming, increase mechanisation, and support farmers in achieving higher yields.
