In April 2021 it was reported that the Minister of Agriculture Lobin Lowe said the country will have a modern fertilizer manufacturing plant by December 2023.

But what is the manufacturing process and is it achievable in Malawi? What are the opportunities and benefits offered by fertilizer manufacturing in Malawi? And how would this contribute to economic growth and sustainable food security in Malawi? 

FAM endeavors to answer these questions in its latest research paper titled "Fertilizer Manufacturing in Malawi" written by Mbawaka Phiri and Caitlin Shaw.

The paper is available for download on the Downloads page of this website.
