About
Who we are
Mzuzu dairy was created to create economic opportunities for rural women and youth in Malawi. We provide the following:
- Dedicated market for livestock products like milk and meat.
- Infrastructure to increase the efficiency and productivity of livestock value chains.
- Extension services and trainings of youth and women smallholder livestock farmers.
- Climate smart livestock production to reduce the negative impact of livestock farming on climate change.
Livestock production in Malawi has been on decline due to lack of reliable markets, inferior breeds, inadequate extension workers, inadequate feed and fodder due to climate change. We believe that our solution has positively contributed to growth of the livestock value chains in Malawi resulting in increased consumption of livestock products and reduced malnutrition cases.
