We were honored to host the World Bank Group Vice President for Eastern & Southern Africa, Mr. Ndiame Diop, alongside the Minister of Agriculture and Water Development, Hon. Roza Fatch Mbilizi – Mangochi Central, who was accompanied by senior officials from the World Bank, the AGCOM Project, and the Malawi Government.

During the visit, Mr. Diop commended ACADES for demonstrating the power of farmer organization, strong partnerships, and value addition—turning smallholder farming into a real pathway for productivity, wealth creation, and dignity.

Visits like these continue to inspire us at ACADES Malawi to keep innovating as we grow and scale our impact.
