A new local fertilizer plant could be a total game-changer for Malawi. The facility is being built in Dowa by Napoleon Dzombe, who runs Mtalimanja Holdings Limited. He says production should start by April. The factory aims to fix a major scarcity issue in the market. Once running, it will pump out around forty metric tonnes every hour. Dzombe claims that output could cover the entire country's needs in only one hundred fifty days.
The plan is to finish construction work by January next year. Workers have already installed the manufacturing machines. Local production is meant to slash the high costs of importing fertilizer. This should help farmers directly and could boost overall crop yields. The project's goal is to strengthen...
