Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera has stated that the launch of the mega farms demonstrates his administration\u2019s resolve to eliminate hunger and poverty in Malawi.<\/p>\n

Chakwera made the sentiments after launching Linga Mega Farm in Nkhata Bay where where over 800 rice and beans farmers have already started irrigation farming on a 450-hectare land.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday is a historic day to Malawi\u2019s commitment towards eliminating hunger and poverty. Our flagship mega farm initiative is well and truly on track,\u201d he said. \u201cI am glad to learn that at full capacity, the farm will utilise close to 1,500 hectares as part of the initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Chakwera said he was further delighted that the scheme \u2013 in complementing with other support initiatives such as fisheries, honey production and livestock farming \u2013 has created hundreds of jobs to our youth in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis exciting development confirms my administration\u2019s conviction that mega farms are the best approach in commercialising agricultural production in the country. The Malawi Vision 2063 clearly outlines a path to self-reliance and prosperity by leveraging agriculture as one pillar that will spur socioeconomic transformation. In view of this, increasing agricultural production,\u201d said the President.<\/p>\n
