He holds a Master of Business Administration, a Bachelor of Business Administration, and is currently a member of Institute of Marketing in Malawi.

Makata brings to ADMARC a unique combination of commercial strategy, business innovation, managerial leadership, operations management, financial management, and strategic planning which are skills required to achieve results in the new ADMARC limited.

Simply put, ADMARC, was formed in Malawi in 1971 as government-owned corporation or parastatal to promote the Malawian economy by increasing the volume and quality of its agricultural exports, to develop new foreign markets for the consumption of Malawian agricultural produce and to support Malawi’s farmers.

It was the successor of a number of separate marketing boards of the colonial-era and early post-colonial times, whose functions were as much about controlling African smallholders or generating government revenues as in promoting agricultural development.

At its foundation, ADMARC was given the power to finance the economic development of any public or private organisation, agricultural or not.
