About us
Uniting stakeholders across the Malawian macadamia value chain.
Who we are
The Malawi Macadamia Association (MMA), originally formed as the Tree Nut Growers Association, now serves as a national platform connecting growers, processors, policymakers, development partners, and buyers. We work collectively to strengthen the industry, advocate for its interests, and raise the global profile of Malawian macadamias under a united Brand Malawi.
As global demand for healthy snacks and nutritious foods continues to grow, Malawi’s macadamia sector is well-positioned to respond. Through shared representation and coordinated effort, we’re not only delivering a high-quality crop, we’re building a national brand, driving export-led growth, attracting investment, and helping create meaningful opportunities through agriculture.
