Welcome to Macadamia information center

The Highland Macadamia Cooperative Union Limited (HIMACUL) represents smallholder macadamia growers in Malawi. With 3800 members spread out all over the country and partners in other countries too we have gone about setting up an area where information and news can be posted and commented on.

Smallholder macadamia groups are throughout the country in Mulanje, Neno, Mwanza, Dowa, Ntchisi and Rumphi. Through investing in cooperatives and associations the annual establishment has risen to 70,000 trees a year and over 1000 Ha is currently under smallholder management in the country. The majority of this crop has been established in the last 4 years. Kernel volumes are at present small but will grow significantly as this crop matures.

Dr Wayne Hancock leading a whip grafting training session in Ntchisi. The whip grafting technique can be applied in the field and provides a better grafting union enabling more vigorous canopy development. The technique is versatile enabling 'top working' to be done in the field thus giving smallholders the capacity to change or update varieties in the field.
