President Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera has commended the Katunga-Maseya (KAMA) Cooperative Mega Farm through PressCane for taking a step in making the dream of industrialization, as contained in the Malawi 2063, a reality.
President Chakwera was speaking on Tuesday during the launch of the KAMA Mega Farm in Chikhwawa district.
President Chakwera said he was pleased to see that the private sector has been the pioneers of actualizing the Malawi 2063 agenda of agro-industrialization.
“What you have done here is to make history as a private sector player by answering the Malawi 2063 pillar of agro-industrialization,” Said President Chakwera
The Malawi leader challenged Malawians to start producing more if the narrative of Malawi being an agricultural based economy is to be realised.
He said: “Today, I want to challenge all of us as a country to stop telling ourselves that we are an agri-based economy. Why do we say that our economy’s strength is in agriculture when we produce so little from agriculture.”
Kama pools together 2600 sugarcane farmers who trade through PressCane Limited to produce ethanol under mega farm arrangement.
