Malawian farmers need climate-resistant crops for better harvests during tough weather. CAT Executive Director Macleod Nkhoma says maize, groundnuts, soya, and millet can survive harsh conditions. He spoke during a field tour at Makoka Research Station in Zomba district. The event taught farmers about weather-resistant crops under the theme of improving farming with climate-resilient technology. Nkhoma tied this work to Malawi's 2063 agenda, encouraging new farming methods through agribusiness.
The acting station manager, Jessie, explained that field demonstrations help local farmers learn new techniques that boost crop production. Farmer Timothy Wahela praised the program for teaching valuable knowledge about farming despite climate challenges. He believes new methods help increase harvests. Several organizations joined the event, including Global Seeds, Saju Agro Dealers, Farmers Organization, Bayer Malawi, and Glow Best selling farming supplies. Newman Kaphela from Farmers Organization said the event connected his company with customers.
Kaphela urged farmers to create clubs to access seeds through loans. CAT works with funding from Global Action and other partners to support small-scale farmers across Malawi. Their programs focus on building climate-resilient agriculture systems. The initiative aims to reduce hunger problems through modern farming approaches. These efforts help farmers adapt to changing weather patterns affecting traditional growing methods.
