OUR BUYERS
About Our Buyers
Farmconnect is dedicated to supporting farmers in eight districts: Mzimba, Kasungu, Dowa, Ntchisi, Dedza, Lilongwe, Mchinji, and Balaka. We aim to work with at least 40,000 farmers in these regions, providing them with the resources and support needed to boost their productivity and economic stability.
In Malawi, about 80% of the population is engaged in agriculture, with smallholder farmers making up around 75% of the farming community. These farmers, who typically work on small plots and sell between 100 to 400 kilograms of produce per farm, face challenges due to limited access to resources, technology, and capital. Despite this, they produce over 50% of the country’s crops.
Subsistence farmers, who primarily grow food for their own consumption, represent about 25% of Malawian farmers. Efforts are being made to encourage them to engage in commercial farming.
Commercial farmers, making up only about 5% of the farming population, operate on larger farms and focus on cash crops for export and market sale, contributing 50% of the market’s crops.
Through our initiatives in these eight districts, Farmconnect aims to empower smallholder and subsistence farmers, helping them overcome challenges and achieve greater success in the agricultural sector.
