Across nine countries that together are home to two-thirds of Africa’s farmers, we provide high-quality farm supplies, tree seedlings, accessible credit, modern agronomic training, and a wide range of other agricultural services. On average, this model enables any farmer to increase their income and assets on supported land by more than 35 percent, while permanently improving their resilience. This is all made possible by our team of 9,000+ full-time staff, drawn from diverse backgrounds and professions.To learn more, please see our Why Work Here blog post. The Malawi program, established in 2013, serves over 500,000 farmers, providing quality farm supplies and training through our “Core” program, and distributing a range of different tree species through our Agroforestry program which utilizes local nurseries situated close to farmers. Headquartered in Zomba, we operate in two distinct regions of Malawi, the densely-populated Southern region focused on staple crops and the breadbasket Central region with its rich legume and cash crop farming history.
