Livestock Production

About

At Village Farms, we are committed to sustainable and holistic farming practices that benefit both our community and the environment. Our dairy cattle are raised with care on our farm in Phwechi, providing fresh, high-quality milk to a growing customer base in and around Mzuzu City.

But our interest in livestock goes beyond milk production. We are also focused on integrating livestock into our broader farming ecosystem. The manure from our cattle plays a crucial role in enriching the soil in our coffee fields, promoting healthy, vibrant crops.

Looking to the future, we are excited to expand our livestock operations. Plans are underway to reintroduce pigs and goats to our farm, further diversifying our agricultural activities and enhancing our ability to produce organic fertilizers that support our commitment to sustainable farming.

At Village Farms, livestock production is more than just raising animals—it’s about nurturing the land, supporting the local economy, and delivering fresh, natural products to our community.

Partnership with Green Acres

Village Farms Ltd is proud to be a part of the Malawi Government’s Green Belt Initiative (GBI), a program designed to enhance agricultural productivity through sustainable land and water management practices.

In collaboration with Green Acres, we are currently cultivating sugarcane on a 10-hectare farm located in the Chikwawa Green Belt area of Salima District. This partnership is a key part of our commitment to expanding our agricultural operations and contributing to the country’s food security.

In addition to sugarcane, we have previously engaged in groundnut production at Kasiya in Lilongwe. Looking ahead, we have identified a new production site in Kapiri, Mchinji, where preparations are already underway for the upcoming season.

Through these partnerships, Village Farms Ltd continues to grow and innovate, bringing sustainable agricultural practices to new regions across Malawi.
