Boosting agricultural productivity and expanding trade of fruits and vegetables in Malawi

With funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and in collaboration with TechnoServe / Partners in Food Solutions, Michigan State University and the AHL Commodities Exchange, MSIKA is facilitated processing, increased crop productivity and improved post-harvest handling and storage. MSIKA supported market linkages between farmers and processors to make domestic trade more efficient and increase future export opportunities. 

To boost agricultural productivity in the fruit and vegetable sector, MSIKA enabled access to finance, improved infrastructure to support on-farm production, and trained farmers on improved agricultural techniques and technologies. MSIKA enabled linkages between buyers and sellers and improving market and trade infrastructure.
