In recognition of the challenges facing farmers in Malawi, an agro-based economy, Sunseed Oil Limited’s extension officers have taken a proactive stance to address the escalating costs of inputs, particularly fertilizers. The surge in prices has heightened the risk of food insecurity among rural farmers, impacting their ability to cultivate essential crops.
While Sunseed’s primary focus is on oil seed crops, particularly soya, the company acknowledges the pivotal role that food security plays in sustaining agricultural practices. In response, Sunseed has committed to training farmers in the production of organic fertilizer using crop and animal wastes, offering an affordable and sustainable alternative to conventional inorganic fertilizers. This initiative not only assists farmers in reducing production costs but also enhances soil health, fostering optimal conditions for crop growth.
Sunseed recognizes that a food-secure farming community is vital not only for the well-being of the farmers but also for ensuring a stable supply of raw materials, such as soya, for the company. By addressing the root causes of food insecurity, Sunseed aims to empower farmers and secure the agricultural foundation on which its operations depend.
