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.

FLO Inspection Audit

FLO performed the initial audit on HIMACUL between the 26-30 June and have received the report, many thanks to the auditor and FLO for the timely audit and feedback. A number of actions were recommended all relating to the new level 2 structure of HIMACUL, the organisation is young and still developing its role it is hoped that this process will help develop the second tier organisation further. Several follow up meetings have already taken place and agreement reached on how to respond to the recommendations.
