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.

HIMACUL Launch

The official launch of HIMACUL took place on the 26th of July at the community grounds in Ntchisi. The event attended by over 500 including members, stakeholders and government officials went very well raising awareness of the organisation and crop in the central region. Although this event has been delayed a number of times due to external issues we all congratulate the organizing committee and all those who contributed and attended the event a big thanks. I will post photos as they become available
