Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Economic expert, Milward Tobias, has said it will be difficult to realise the vision 2063 if President Chakwera\u2019s plan of establishing mega farms will not be implemented.<\/p>\n

Tobias was speaking to the local media when he said mega farms were not only a way of bringing the problem of hunger to an end but also a way of boosting the economy of the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cMega farms are a reliable initiative that will see Malawi transformed in terms of economy. It is a mega project that can also bring innovations in agriculture and tourism,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Concurring with Tobias, Manger for Simbi Farms, Mavuto Elijah Jumbe, said Malawi as country should be serious with farming to make hunger a thing of the past.<\/p>\n

He gave an example that from 300 hectares of a farm owned by business person Simbi Phiri, maize was cultivated on 180 hectares last farming season and a harvest of approximately 800 tonnes is expected to be realised.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a country, there should be political will to invest more in farming. Modern farming involves the use tractors and other forms of machinery,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Spokesperson for the Ministry of Agriculture, Grecian Lungu, says government is putting down measures to establish the mega farms. 80% of Malawians do farming using hand hoes.<\/p>\n
