Introduction

1.1 Orioin and His-torv of the Po iect

1.1.1 Covering a too! area of 119,140 km2# Malawi is a landlocked countryt Iocated in the northern' part of southern Africa. It is O rdered by Tanzania in thè north-eas't, Zambla in the north-weqf andMozambique in the Southern part of the country. lt stretches between Iongitude 32 and 36 E andbetween layitude 9.30 and 17 S. Malawi has a m pulation of 9.5 million and is the fourth mostdensely mpulated country in Xfrica with an annual popula:on increax of about 3.6D/n.Approximately 85% of the toll population live in the rural areas.

1.1.2 The physical geography of the country consiA of a low Iying area of about altitude 100 m inthe far south (Lower Shire Valley), and rises to a high of more than 3000 m asl (Mt. Muylanje).However, mœt of the Iand is Iocated between 1000 and 1400 m als and is jart of the SouthernAfrican Plateaux zone. The total Iand àrea include.s 28,208 km2 (250/0) of lnland water, mostlyLake Malawi.

. e

1.1.3 The main rer urce base of Malawi is agriculture, which dominat% the economy and accoun?for 43% of GDP. Per caqita GNP was peimated by the World Bank in 1996-% be US$ 200 andabout 60% of the populabon Iive below the Ievel of aY olute m verty with an annual income of lo sthan US$ 40, per household which classifie Malawi as one of the poorG countri% in the world.

1.1.4 The Macadamia Smallholder Development Projed (MSDP) originated from the Government ofMalawi (GOM) golicy which aims, on the one hand to improve the welfare of the smallholdet sedorthrough provislon of income earning opportunitie and, on the other hand, to increase foreignexchange earnings of the agricultural sedor through crop diversiscation. lt is on this basis that'theGovernment requlqted a% istance from the Bank to snance a Macadamia nut produdion 5ndmarketing feasibility study. The Bank re ponded favourably to this requeqt in view of the fad thatthe Country Strategy Paper (CSP) for Malawi advocated the development of agriculture in Iine withthe above-qtated Government policy. The study was Ktarted in February 1993 and the final reportwas submitted to the Bank in June 1994.

1.1.5 The feasibility Study report prom sed a projed to bq implemented in two consecutive sevenyear periods, with 3,500 ha of macadamia tree planted during the 5% seken yeas. Thesmallholdes would be grouped in orchard blocks of around 50 ha on customary Iand, under the'management of a new institution to be called the Macadamia Trust of Malawi (G M). Thesmallholdes would serve in this arrangement as labourers to the MTM and would be preventedfrom having their own individual tre% .

1.1.6 Although the study established a sound basis for the o pansion of the macadamia industrywith the identification of new produdion areas of 10 agào-ecologically suited region/s, it failed tocapture an appropriate strategy for involving the smallholder sedor in the industry. Theimplementation of the study findings wàs m stm ned by the Government and the Bank as a resultof Government's reervations on the methodology proposed by the consultan? to integrate thesmallholder sedor in the project. The other reason was the delay in replenishment of the AöF-VII.

1.1.7 In June 1996, the Planning Division of the then Ministry of Agriculture and LivetockDevelopment (MOALD) prepared a projed proposal for smallholder macadamia nut development inMalawi. This was submitted to the Bank for review and consideration. In May 1997, theGovernment invited a Bank prepaetion mi%ion to visit Malawi with the objeOve of reformulatingthe projed in order to focus it on the smallholder sub-sedor a: expresmed in the Government'sprojed proposal.

2. THE AGM CULTURE SEG OR

2.1 Salieny Feature

2.1.1 Agriculttlre is a major player in the Malawi socio-economic landscape. lt accounl for 43% ofthe country's Gross Dompeic Product (GDP) of which about 27% originate from the smallholderse or. ln addition, it contributG 95% of tool G port eamings, of which tobacqo, tea, and sug?ralone accounl for over 60DA. n e sector accounY for aY ut 87% of tool employment, providGraw materials for a* ut two-thirds of the manufae lring se or, while at the same time,considerably dominatc the commercial and disbibution slvtors.

2.1.2 About 850/0 of the population Iive in the rural areas, and derive their livelihood dired y fromthe agriculture sedor. A* ut 60% of the m pulation Iive below the poverty line with an annua!income of lœs than Uss4o/annum. The rural m pulation, with food deficit, is çurrently H imated at700/e.

2.1.3 Out of a total land area of 9.5 million ha (1996 e 'Imat% ) cuslomary land accounl for 6.6million ha, public land 1.7 million ha, Ieasehold lant 1.2 million ha and freehold land 0.053 millionha. Of the total land area, only 4.6 million ha is under cultivation, and is densely Xpulated. Maizqwhich is Malawi's Ktaple food, is the dominant crop occupying a* ut 28.3% (1.3 millipn ha) of thecutvated area.

2.2 Structure

2.2.1 Malawi's agricultural s-tructure is commonly charaderised by two broad blocks, viz:smallholdes and Gqtate . There are about 1.8 million snvllholder farmers, broken down into threesub-categori%, namely; (i) smallholder with l%s than 0.7 hedare (350/c) who cannot, with prcenttechnology, satisfy their own subsistence requirçmenl from their holdings; this category ofsmallholjers, remain dependent on off-farm income, or fx d aid; (ii) smallholders between 0.7 and1.5 hedare.s (40DA) who with pr%ent technology, normally satisfy their svbsistence requiremenYand have the potential for modp-qt cash crop sales; and (iii) the remaining 25% with over 1.5 hawho are already involved in cash cropping. The Smallholder sector occupies about 80% of totalcropped area. CroN grown are maize, pulse , potatoes and cassava. Other crol grown aregroundnui; fltle cured tobacco, cotton, rice and various vegetabl% . This category of farmers haslimited accu s to credit and extension service .

2.2.2 The eqtate sub-sedor occupie a land size of about 691,000 ha, of which 170,000 ha arecultivated. The major crops grown are flue cured, and burley tobacco, which occupie.s a* ut 40%of the estate cropped area. Other crops grown are maizè, tea and sugar. Unlike smallholders, theestate.s get preferential acctuq to credit inputs and support servic% . M a result, the edate.s havea much higher Ievel of technology and achieve higher yields than smallholders.

2.2.3 The Iivestock sub-sedor accoun? for only a* ut 3% of the GDP. According to the 1995Malawi Statis-tical Year Book, the total Iivetock m pulation is about 2,205,771 of Which cattle total796,733, goats 977,126, pigs 2245,175, sheep 84,269, donkeys 2,463 and hol-s% 14 only. Of thetotal number of liveqtock, there are about 3,500 grade cows, and 4,600 exotic pigs. Poultry isG timated at 12 million birds. The Iivekock feed industry is not well developed and grazing isbased mainly on natura! paMure.

Recent Pedonnance

2.3.1 Since independencez agriculture contribution to GDP has varied widely, growing by nearly5% during the 1971 ; lo/o per annum in the early 1980s; and about 2.7% in the period 1987 to1990. Between 1991 and 1993 growth rate averaged 2.89/0. However, following policy reforms,the sedor has continued to register remarkable growth. In the 1994/95 Season agricultureprodudion grew by a robusl 29.704, and in 1995/96 growth rate regiMered clœ e to 3894; the

2.5 Policv Aoend-a

2.5.1 n e major Government qolicy agenda in the ajricultural sedor focuse on raising farmincomes and promoting economlc growth while conservlng natural reources; imqroving fx d self-sumciency as well as the nutritional eatus of the popula:on; and, expanding and diversifying cropand Iive ock produdion for local and exm rt markei. The major Strategi% employed by the GOMto facilitate the realisa:on of thp- objeYvH focus on policy reforms and jenera:on anddissemination of appropriate technology. Currently the GOM with donor suppoo ls de igning anAgriculyure SfG or Invpqtment Programme (MASIP) as a major vehicle of tacsing rural poverty.

2.5.2 Since 1987 a number of poliW and Structural reforms have been instituted to facilitateeconomic growth. Several adjuMment programm% have been implementedk since the 1983including measure to remove the barriers to enhance raqid groMh and 'development of theagricultural sertnr. Some of these are the repeal of the Agrlcultural and LivF< ock Marketing Adwhich removed aIl rêqtridions for entry into marketing of aIl agriculture and Iiv/qtock productq bythe private sectnr; price Iiberalisation; the Fertilisation Farm Feeds and Remedie Ad which openedthe trade to the private sedor. Other acts of Iiberalisation include the Seed Act Special Crops Actand the opening of tobacco growing to smallholöers.

2.5.3 The imhad of policy reforms on agriculture performance has been a remarkably satisfactorygrowth rate since 1993/94 ranging from 29.7% to 38% that has exceeded expedations. Gopdprodudion performance was recorded in aIl crops, including the eaple maize, rice, sorghum,puls%, mtatY q, cotton, tobacco and groundnut, (para. 2.3.2). The government is determined tosuqtain the policy initiative to ensure a high growth rate of a diversised agriculturq sedor

2.6 Land Tenure and Land :se

2.6.1 The land tenure system in Malawi categorize.s land into three dikinct groups: (i) CustomaryLand; (ii) Private t-and, and (iii) Public land. Customary land is vpqted in the Pr% ident who, underthe Chiefs ack delegate power to allocate land to traditional Chiefs for use by the smallholdersector. Private land is owned by individuals either under free hold or Ieasehold title, while publicland is used by the GOM for developing public ins-titutions, such as towns and markei or, set sidefor national parks and foreqt reservc . lt is gqtimated that 6.6 million ha are cuMomary Iand, 1.25million ha private and 1.7 million ha set aside as public land used for forpqt or game reserves.

2.6.2 Following the Iiberalization of the Malawi Land Amendment Act of 1971, small holderfarmers, in principle , can appiy to register customary Iand, to which they hold u' sufrud righl byauthority of the village headman, at Ieasehold. Leaseholds are for 21 years at the first option.Extension of the leasehold to 99 years is m ssible once the necG sary formaliti% of survey andregistration are completed. Customary landholders, in general, appear Satissed with this systqm ofIand allocation and security. The tenure system is suitable for the development of Tree Crow IikeMacadamia. The GOM is nevertheless committet to impose stricter controls on the System in orderto curb fblrther expansion of the estate lands. Parliament is expeded soon to consider appropriateIegislation to give effed to a new land policy that will further improve the sectlrity of tenure forsmallholdes.

Constraints to Aoriculture Dev'elooment

2.7.1 Although the improved m licy environment has contributed signiGcantly to increasedagricultural performance, the smallholder is still faced with an array of cons-traini . Erratic rainfallpatterns and recurrent drough? in the 1993 remain the mœ t unpredidable constraint facing thesedor. ln 1991/92, Malawi experienced the wost drought in Iiving memory. The situation hasimproved over the last 3 years, with exception of the 1996/97 season. Due to the high populationgrowth rate, land availability has become a constraint, D rticularly in the smallholder sob-sedor;government policy to re trid the transfer of customary Iand to the estate sedor has somewhatalleviated this constraint.

3. MAM DAMIA SUB-SEW OR

3.1 The Sub-sector Analvsis

3.1.1 Macadamia is native to eastern' Australia and is at home in the same type of climate asColea arabica, i.e. from equatorial highlands at 1,500 m altitude to frol-free sub-tropica! areas atsea Ievel. The crop requirœ about 1,000 mm of rain but is fairly drought re.siqta'nt. Malawi provideexcellent agro-ecological conditions for the cultivation of macadamia tr- q. Macadamia nu1 are ahigh energy food and contain no chole erol. They are a gx d K urce of protein? calcium,potassium and dietary sbre and are very Iow in sodium. The natuol oils''in Macadamias conlin78% mono-unsaturated fat . Mature macadamia nut kernels are encased in hard wx dy shellssurrounded by green-brown sbrous husi.

3.1.2 The Macadamia tree was introduced in Malawi from Australia sixty yeas ago. Commercial 'plantations in Malawi were not peablished until the 1960's. Nowadays, 17 fvtate.s have gone intooperation producing more than 311 tons of saleable kernels annually. Almos't aIl of this produce isprocused Iocally rG m dively in Naming'omba Tea Fqtates in n yolo Distrid in the South and inKawalazi Feate.s in Nkhata % y area in the North. Output from thp* factosic consiq'tq re pectivelyf 90% exmrted kernel, 7.5$ locally Kld kernels, 2% oil and 0.5% cake.o

3.1.3 Macadamia produdion at Smallholder Ievel is still in i? infancy. There has been a markedIack of intere in the development of the crop on customary Iand due to the absence of a clearGovernment policy. Smallholders were provided with few seedlings only while no back-up supportwas provided in terms of produdion technology, proc% sing and marketing. M a re ult, it was noteconomically viable for the smallholders to participate in macadamia produdion or for traders toventure in smallholder areas.

3.1.4 Most of the smallholder producers are situated in Mzuzu Agriculture Development Division(ADD) in the North, Kasungu ADD in the Centre and in the Thyolo Distrid in South of Malawi. Thenumber of trees planted per farmer remains small (30 tree.s per farmer) and the total number offarmers that engage in macadamia development is G imate at 200. Totpl produdion ofmacadamia for 1996/97 is Gtimated at Kasungu, 3.2 mt in Kasungu and 6.4 mt in Mzuzu. Most ofthG e nuts, however, have not found their way to the procGcming plant.

3.1.5 Macadamia produdion at smallholder Ievel is mcstly conkrained by lack of marketing; - badquality of the nut.s and the deplorable state of the rural access roads.

3.7 Environm y? Xt

3.7.1 The areas where macadamia is currently jrown are IY.ated in the high altitude areas whichrise to a* ut 1,500 m asl. Mos't of the top soils ln these areas are ooên very deep (soil depth >150 cm) to deep (100-150 cm), well drained, red to reddish brown, medium to fine textured. Mostof the hills and G carpment zone are covered with Brachystegia and G carpment wx dland(Julbernardia globisora). In the Iower reache.s mixed low altitude Ovanna œ curs with such speciœas Combretum diplorh Ynchus, Diœ pyrœ and Acacia

3.7.2 The structure of most cul:vated top soils is weak, owing to the cultivation pradicc ofintensive hœinj, and not returning enough organic material to the soil. Dke to the high rainfallrates, the K iI s highly erodible and sheet erosion is common in many areas. ln addition, thecommon practice of burning the vegetation during the dry season has resulted in many wild 5rGdperoying or afecting large paA of the natural vegeta:on and mx't of the remaininl fore.q'tr% ourcG are consequently degraded to varying degr- . On steep land and G carpment zonc,which has been under cultivation for some time, the top soil is usually aM ent or extremely thin.

3.7.3 The average annual rate of defore tation over the last 25 years based on rate.s ofagricultural exx nsion is 0.80/0. There are very few Iarge mammals Ie& in the projed area. % mebuffalos and antelope, baYons, several speci% of monkeys, wild jgs and a few feline.s occur innational reerves but not in the projed areas. There are a great varlety of birds. Local hunting ofSmall game such as can rats for fx d is common.

3.7.4 Malawi has * en engaged in a comprehensive review of its environmental Iegislation forthe last few years, gaining momentum aoer the Rio conference in 1992. A national EnvirqnmentalAdion Plan was drawn up in 1994, followed by the draoing of a Nabonal Environmental Policy thatwas adopted in February 1996. Parliament enaded Subsequently the Environmental ManagementAd in August 1996 (Ad 23). lnstitutional re ponsibility for the implementation 'of the policy andact lay with the Diredor of Environmental Affairs (DEA) in the Minis'try of Forpqtry, Fishery andEnvironmental Affairs (MOFFEA). The guideline.s for an Environmenta! lmpad M scsment hasbeen issued BY DEA in December 1997 and will be followed by sedor specific guidelinG .

The approach willbe based on the Worid Bank %lTraining and Visit'' skstem which has been modified by the GOM.Farmer groups will be the focal point of attention. The system is very fundional. and has proven tobe effedive in eliciting adive farmer participation. Under the program, community nurseries andmacadamia ptantation will be established. At a tater Stage, the program will introduce appropriatecrop and land husbandry pradices, and applying improved technologi% Such as tesling newmacadamia clone on-farm and the introdudion of lntegrated PeSI Management (IPM) techniques(Annex 3). The projed Fill assist in establishing farmer-managed demo-trials. ThGe demo-trialswill be used as Iearning grounds for farmes involved in macadamia produdion. Field trips and 5elddays will be organised as part of their training program.

4.3.10 The Bvumbe Agricultural Re-search Station will be assisting in supporting the on-farmr% earch. Regional horticulturist will be provided with transm rt with a view of assisting the FieldM sistan? (FA) in eMablishing and mopitoring the demo-trials. Provision will be made also fortechnical backstopping from the Bvumbe Agricultural Re* arch Station. A R% earch and extensionworkshop dealinj on aspeds of smallholder macadamia produdion will be organised.

4.3.16 To ensure the suqo inability of the rehabilitated roads under the projed, GOM will berequired to include the roads rehabilitated under the projed in the Natiopal Road Authorii yearlymaintenance programme. The Authority haS * en Geablished as a result of a continuous dialoguebetween the GOM and the European Union (EU), World % nk (WB) and KM to assume theresponsibility of road janning, construction and maintenance of a1l rœds in Malawi induding thoAconstruded or rehabilltated by thc e and other Donors. In addition to Donor's funding for rœ dconstrudion and maintenance, the Authority will also receive. funding through a fuel Ievy to becolleded directly from the Petroleum Control Commission. AIl qokeholdels using the roads,including the prlvate sector are repreented in the Authorit/s Rcard, which decide,s on itsprogramme. M a Ioan condition, the Government will be required to undertake to comply with thisarrangement.

4.3.17 The projed will * implemented within the existing inkitutional framework of the MAI(chapter 5). The qtaff wil! be trained in Macadamiâ technology to improvè on performanceemciency. To this end Lmo Iong term Technical M sistant (TA) and seven short term consullni invarious areas of speciality will be retained to assist (Para 5.2.4). Additionll Iocal sk't'aff that will berequired is Iimited to 6 nursery managers, and 2 drivers. VehiclG , motorcyclea office' equipmentand omce Stationery will be provided to facilitate projed implementation.

4.4.1 Market outlet for macadamia nuts are available but dimcult to accc s. The Iow quantitiG aswell as the mediocre quality of the nuts produced are Some of the problems Smallholders face inaccG sing market outlet. Unl/qq the project can overcome th% e constrainY, private traders willremain reludant to venture in theV areas. The Bank engaged the expert service.s of FAO toaddre-ss these short comings. The FAO recommendations have been incorporated in the projed. Itis a%umed that, as a result of the implementation of th%e recommeidations, farmes will benefitfrom satisfadory marketing and processing facilitiG .

4.4.2 The demand for macadamia nqlts, on a global level, is on the increase (Annex 3). The nut isincreasingly being used as a major ingredient in various culinary dishe.s which has r%ulted in asharp increase of the demand for macadamia nul. W ith a far from saturated market, it has beenassumed that world market price,s will remain stable.

4.4.3 Southern and East Africa have experienced periods of drought which, over the years, haveseverely affeded agricultural production. This, in principle, should not be a constraink as theprojed will exx nd to areas where rainfall will be adequate (over 1,200 mm). M macadamia treeare remarkably tolecant to moislure s'tre s it is assumed that there will be no need for irrigation.

6.3 Financial Justificauon

6.3.1 n e Internal Rnancial Rate of Return (IFRR) is e 'mate at 12.6004. The followingassumptions have hnrn made to arrive at the(1FRR) under the proju :

i) Macadamia financial farm gate price has h- n derive by adjustment of internationalricG . n e intercropped cro> have been priced at the 1998 coneant market price at farmgate;

i i)

iii) The proje crmtm and benefi? are programmed for 30 years period..

'

6.3.2 The programmed cash flows prepared from crop produdion show that total revenues willgrow from MG 2.2 million in the year 1999 to MG 52.0 million by the year 2013 and Steadythereaoer. Cashflow at D rticipating household Ievel will increase from MG 230 in 1999 to MG16,800 in 2013. '

6.4 Econom ic JuA ification

The area of cultivation will reach 5O0 ha. During the firs't five years of the project,macadamia will be intercropped with other crops; (para. 4.3.3)

6.4.1 The prom sed projed will contribute significantly in easing the poverty burden in the projedareas. It will provide an opm rtunity for the pafcipating famili% to improve on the Ievel ofsumciency in food pre udion. W ith a net, incremental income of MG 60,000 annually, perparticipating household, the government's efforls towards poverty alleviation will have beenenhanced. The projed also jrovidG a useful window by which the GOM can improve on ii currentaccount, through export earnlngs.

6.4.2 The Economic Rate of Return (ERR) of the projed is estimated at 14,50% (anne.x 11) in a 30year projed Iife. The low rate of return is due to the Iong gpqtation period of macadamia tree.

6.4.3 With regard to sensitivity analysis, there are only three majoraffed the projed K rformances:

pro> bflities, which may

recurrent drought, which will trigger a downward trend in crop production thus,undermining the returns from the e adivitie . A sensibvity analo is shows thatwith even a decline of 20% of Gtimated produdion, the projed remains viablewith an ERR of 12.0Q/o,

an increase in operating cost as a consequence of edernal fadors may adverselyaffed the unit cost of imported items. A sensitivity analysis shows that even with acos't overrun of 20oZo, the projed remains 'kiable with an ERR of 13.2Q/o,

there is a third probable risk of the international price of macadamia nut decliningby 200/0, The ERR remains viable at 13.6D/o,

' ï *;. g,6.4.4 M indicated in Dra. 6.4.3, the projed is less sensitive to Kme Iikely adverse occurrçnces !which may aff'ec't its viability. .

6.4.5 The principal assumptons employed in the economic analysis are:

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDAH ONS

7.1 Conclusion

7.1.1 The Macadamia Smallholder Development Proje has a high priority among the GOMdevelopment obje ive . n e projed aims at alleviaKng poverty in the rural areas, by raising ruralincom% and diversifying the economic base. MSDP will also fM er an enabling economicenvironment for prie te sedor development through improvement of the H sential agriculturalservice to farmers, increasing invpqtment.in rural infrastrudure and appropriate training package.

7.1.2 Mos't imm c ntly the MSDP will focus on the smallholders, women farmers and the youth,the groups with subeantial untapped growth potential. One of the most notable Strategieproposed under the projed is the strengthening of the farmer groups, and c'reating new groupswhere appropriate. This will emm wer the smallholdes by enabling them to determine their ownafairs as farmers . Farmer groups will in future be the fx us m int for farmer participation inprojed proixsals, d% ign and implementation. By targeting the farmer groups, MSDP will removemany of the constraints faced by them and help improve smallholder productivity, Ieading toincreased income and welfare.

7.1.3 The project will improve household food security through enhanced food produdion andrul'al income jeneration. R is technically feasible, economically juofiable, and financiallysueainable. lt ls form ulated within the framework of Reform Prœ ram me being adively x rsued bythe GOM with supm rt from the multilateral institutions. The MSDP is also in Iine with theinstitu:onal rm uiremenl, and implementation strategic propœ ed under the MASIP, currentlybeing formulated by the GOM and the donor community. Finally, the projed is alK in Iine withADF W 1 development Strategy.

CLN ATE DATA FOR PROJECT AREAS

1 M alawi experiences a sub-humid tropical climate; the lower elevations having a drysub-humid climate and the higher elevations experiencing a moist sub-humid climate.

2 Rainfall is highly iniuenced by orqgraphic efrects: east to south-east facing windward

slopes receivinr more than the leeside side of hills and mountains, and areas with highelevation receivlng more than low-lying areas. M ost parts of M alawi receive between 80Oand 1,000 mm of annual rainfall, except for some areas on the lake shore plaina vand in thehigher elevations, particularly those facing SE whicà may receive as much as 3,000 mm (forinstance, the area north-west of Lake Malawi). The rainy season usually starts towards theend of November/erly December and continues in most places until sometime in April. '

3 Between M ay and November there is, generallyy a dry season. The mean number of

dg months (less than 50 mm of rainfall) usually lies between 6 to 8 months. Waves of Iightraln or drizzle, known as chiperoni, may occur throughout the year but are particularlycommon on Southeast facing slopes in the Southern and northern pm s of the country. Inprinciple, chiperoni's occura on average, about twice per month with an average duration of2-3 days. Climatic conditions for the project areas. speciscally, favour macadamia nutdevelopment. This is illustrated by the mean annual rainfall data presented in table below.

TECHNICAL N OTES

Introduction

1.1 The M acadamia tree is a tropical evergreen, indigenous to Australia. The tree cangrow up to heights of 15 meters in fenile soils. They will stnrt. . yielding from year 4(depending on the clone) and-continu. ç to produce up to year 6O. Peak production is from 10* -' * . *

to 35 yenm .

Selection of olantinG- site

2.1 ln M alawi, M acadnmia will probably grow best in the 600M to 1 ,250 m altituderange. i.e. from the lakeshore to the lower highland areas. M acadamia prefers a slightly acidsoil, pH 5.7 - 6.9. ' Soils should be deep and freely draining. On smallholder farms,M dam ia is usually' intkrcropped with subsistence crops, such as maizd, pulses and cusava.. aCaln som e cases, smallholders have planted them in pure stands or intercropped with coffee.Old tobacco land has the particular problem of very acidic soils (PH of 3.5) wllich makes ittmsuitable for planting macadàmia 'lnless extensive lim ingyis carded out prior tö planting.

Production of plantino- m aterial

3.1 The superiority of gro ed tcees over seedlings hms been well established. n e mostcommonly used form ot grafting is Approach Grafling. The method involves the grafling of': . .

' supporting seedlln: ptants, aged 12 to 1 8 months in containers, to terminal scion shoots fromm other bush m aterial of superior clones. A mother bush is a clone tree, produced either bygraftihg or vegetative propagation selected for their yield and kem el quality characteristics.

3.2 Approach grafting can produce planting m atedal w ithin one year. M ost of the graftbdplanting m aterial in the country has been produced at either the Bvum be A griculturalResearch Station or the Tea estates in Narng'om ba and K aw alazi. These estztes can m akegrafted planting material available to smallholders faz-m ers upon request.

-'o .3 For many years the. m otber bush clone NN':..S N1. te--raphylla. N ow adays, a neu'generation clones have been lntroduced. The newer clones have been selected, in addition toln ' 'ield and kem i l qualily characten'stics for tree shape a-s well a.s for their adaptab' ilily lot elr ) ,

climatic conditions. Tnis includes wind resistance and suitabt'lity rzor the lower uvarmer and:he higher cooler azes in the country. Currently approved c lo-.-es include : 800, 34 4 , 74 1 , o'-Kwoand 79 1 .

ANNEX 3-BPagel

M ALA W ISMALLHOLDER MXCADAMIA DEVELOPATENT PROJECT

AGW CULTURAL EXTENSION SERVICE

1 n e GOM has divided the country into eight Agricultural Development Divisions (ADEEach ADD is divided into two to fve Rufal Development frojects P), of whicb lhere are '. )in tgtal. Each RDP, çn turn, is divided into 180 Extension Plnnning Areas (EPA) on tbe basis Iagro-ecological criteria. Each EPA is divided into 10 to 15 sections, with each agricultural FieAssistant (FA) being' allocated one section.

2 n e MAI uses the modiûed, W orld Bank supponed, Training and Visit (T&V)extension system. The system is called the Block Exlension

-system (BES) a-s each sectionhas been sm her sub-divided into a maxlmum of eight sub-sections or Blocks. The number ofblocks will allow Field Assistants to visit each Block at least once every fonh night. Blocks,ideally, are comprised of 30 to 1O0 farm fnmilies and have b

. een designed on the bMis ofsim ilar geographical, social and economic considerations.

3 W ithin each Block, FAs are required to establish about five dem o-trials. Farmers inwhose gardens these dem o-trials have been established are referred to as. çontact fanners.Choice of topics or subject to be demonslated will originate 'from the knowlqdge of the FAsMsessment of the problems persistent in the block. Subject M atter Specialists includingHoniculturists, Crops Officers, Adaptive Research Officers; and Training Officers supponField assistants in their work. '

4 Very closely associated to the BES is the existence of various, functibnal cornmittees.Loc'al leadership is pivotal in the management and hznctioning of these committees.Committees meet at least once per month to plan and discuss issues' pertaining to cropspecific development. .'Fhey are very often' crucial in obtaining credit from the prevailing(fbrmal and informal) credit organisations in .the region.

5 One of the most imponant features under :he BES is the system of training.

Recornmendations, in pdnciple, are passed on from :he ADD level, via'the Project Oficers atRDP level, to the Development Officers at EPA level. Once a m essage has been verified and

ri ls and handouts prepared relyvant''sMs Nvill visit project azrea's to discuss themate amessages u'ith project based SMS, who in tun will v'isi: and train FAs at the fonnightly EP,A-m eetings.

1.2 The principal objective of the company is to provide snancial services and creditfacilities to thé rural areas. Presently MRFC is fully owned by the Government of Malawi.However, the process of privatising the company has been put to motion, and the GOMintends to reduce its ownership of the company to Iess than 2QOA by selling il shares tothe private se or. MRFC omrates on strid commercial principles: it accepis gr-anY butprovides none.

1.3 MRFC coverage of the country is extensive. lt has 8 branches, one in each ADD.There are 27 supervisol offices, one in each RDP. In addition, there 4re 134 5eId omces,almost one in each EPA. The company has approved positions of 315 out of which 288 or91.4% is slled as by January 1988.

2. Ac ivities

2.1 MRFC accept.s customer deposits. It provides seasonal and business Ioans.Institutional arrangemen? have been put in place to enable it manage medium to andIong term Ioans. Currently it is also managing a US$ 25.00 million Iine of credit from IFADunder the Mudzi Financial Service.s Project.

4.1 The proje proposes to provide a line of credit of UA 0.99 million (Mkw 24.16million) as seaKnal or medium term credit to assist PBs in procuring inputs to developmacadamia, and other food/cash crops. The credit facility will be 'managed andadministered within the frameworks of the MRFC institutional arrangemenl . Thecompany has overcome the capacity limitations it had faced during the 1995/96 season.It is now well organised and adequately represented country wide to undec ke thisadivity satisfactorily. 11 representation in the projte areas IrrAted in Mzuzu andKasungu ADDS is adequate. Performance in these areas, in terms of Ioans disbursed andrecovel are satisfadory. MRFC is the only institution in Malawi, which is well organisedand adm uately resourced to undertake credit activities afecting smallholders. Thetechnical support it is receiving from the World Bank and IFAD has strengthened itsinstitutional and performance capability.

MACADAMIA MARVETIXG STUDY

A. Ovew iew.

1. This report has addressed those matters which are considered releyant toefective marketing of Srnallholder macadamia in M alawi in response to thePreparation M sslons Ending for this project that development of Srùallholdermacadsmla production was severely constrined by lack of an elective m arketingsystem. Field visits to existing and proposed Smallholder macadzm-la areas as part oftEs repon conErms that at tEs time, existing Sm ilholder growèrs of macadam'la haveno market for their produce whick apart Fom some local household consumptiona islargely lcA to rot on the ground. ln contrast to this situationa there is a well establishedmacadamia processing industry in Malawi (two processors) which efectively caters forsigniscant macadsmia production on world standards from the larger farms and Estatesector of the industry.

RECOM M ENDATIONS.

2. M esective marketing system is dependent on a thorough understanding of thewhole macadnmia industry b0th locally and intem ationally not only in the are,a ofmarket forces which may prevail from time to time but also in all related aspects such

Jrk t volumes available product qreparation and handling,as quality, delivel to m e , ,packaginp shipment etcc A1l these aspects of the m acadnmla mrket have beenaddressed in detail in the main body of this report and as a result of tbose investigationthe following main reccr.kmendations for implementation of an eFective Sm allholdermarketing system aze summarized.

B. Recom m ended Scope of M arketing System.

3. Traditional market channels for macadamia farmers throughout the world havebeen desned in the report. The potcntial market channels available to the Smallholdermacadamia farmers are limited by the dim culty in cracking the nut and the stringentstorage requirements of the kemel once it has been removed. lt is recommended thatthe scope of the marketing system established for the Smallholder Project sbould varyaccording to the stage of implementation of the project as below:

(1)

4. There is a well éstablished macadamia processing system in M alani that has thecapacity to absorb immediately production from existing Smallholder producers. Theirnmediate aim should therefore be to access tMs potential market fbr existingSmallholder production and for early production from the new plantings. .

(2) Stage Two - Build Processing Plant

5. * en production from the existing and new Smallholder plantings reaches adesirable level which is estimated at 1,000 tonnes of nut in Shell in this repon, thengrower retum s are likely to be enhanced by developing their own processing capacity.Using the yield predications generated in tl'tis report, new plantings of 50O hectaresshould reach this productive capacity, in terms of kernel volume at a fac:ory k-ernelrecoveo' or 250z1. at approxi' mately S to l 0 years ax er c 'kanting.

b) Recommended Action.

12. The project plus to employ Technical M sistants as part of the implementationprogramme. lt is essential that the terms of reference of at least one of these assistantsinclude training at a11 levels on market structures, market mechanlsms and pm icularly

. barm er Isolation from hiarket Inform atîon.

a) Desnition of Issue-

13. Farmers currently. have no information on how to address their marketing

situation. That is, the potential processor niarket is available but the processors haveno communication with the Smallholder and vice versa. The feld sm dy for this reportcov rmed that the Agriozltural Development Divisions (ADD's) of the Miaistry ofAgriculture and Irrigation ), tkough their Rural Development Projects andExtension Planning areas are a strong and iv uential stm cture in the farming areasthroughout M alawi. ln additiona the ADD system reaches down to the individualfarmer extremely efectively in tbe areas of tecim ological ex-tension and farmer supportfor a very large range of crops. How ever it is apparent that developm ent of an

awareness of marketing ojcrops generally, and mrketing of macadamia in particular isonly just beginning. Fktrthcrmore it ha.s been agreed in the Aide M emoire that theexisting institutional fraYework within the M M teough the ADD struct-ure will be theproject managers.

R ecom m ended A ction.

The project must:

i. make a deliberate efibrt to build capacity on marketing ofmacadamia at the ADD level so that tinls capacity can be passed dowmthe line to the Extension Planaing arep.s and the Field .M sistants for thebenefit orthe f'anmers.

5. M acadamia Yields and Quality.

a) Desnition of Issum

17. The main report has identised environmental cultural, harvest, handling, andstorage parameters that are criticyl to achieving Egh yields of good qualitym acadarniu at tbe t'farm gate*'. From the perspective of snancial success of theprojsct, the importance of achieving high yield is clearly apparent. However, what isolen not so apparent is the importance of quzity and the fact that to a very largeextent quality is determined on the farm in the growing and handling of the product.From the marketing point of view at the fann level therefore, quality is of paramountimponance not only begause processors have rninimum quality requirements for. . kacceptance of product irita the factory, but also because the farmer ls paid bu ed on the

:k . 'quality of nut in shell supplied to the processor.

t?l;li Recommended Action.

18. Through the Technical M sistants and the ADD structure the project mustensure that a thorough farmers training prograrnme is implemented. This programmemust as a rikinimum implement the following:

i. a farmers manual on good orchard practice which covers all aspects of theculture, harvest, handling, and storage of macadamia must be produced in alanguage wizich is understapdable by farmers.

regular seld days and t'farmers walks'' must be Urganized 'and an-anged.

iii. formal f'armer training schools must be im plernented.! . .')

fann visits t6 fplatories and vice versa must be a-ranged.tl i' . )

'

19. Aspects which are of principal importance to Jield and quality must bethoroughly covered including'.

i. lnsect Control.ii. Nutritional programs.iii. Harvest teclmiques, tirning, and rnaturity standards.iv. Dehuski- ng and handling.
