About Us

We are a food processing enterprise, specialized in highly nutritious porridge flour. We believe that Malawi’s agricultural sector still needs value addition if we are to maximize the revenue the country boasts about. Realizing that agriculture forms Malawi’s backbone yet most of the exports are raw materials, we thought it wise to set up a food processing company that adds value to the locally grown agricultural produce so that we maximize the returns from the sector.

Our Background

Mtengo Wakumunda is a registered Agro-food-processing and trading enterprise. The enterprise was established after the founder was recruited by the Malawi Ministry of Agriculture and NEPAD agency to undergo a three months agribusiness and entrepreneurship training at Small and Medium Enterprise Development Institute (SMEDI) in a project called “Promoting Decent Rural Employment and Entrepreneurship in Agriculture and Agribusiness”. The team comprises of 8 young experienced staff responsible for the executive management of the enterprise plus advisors.

By processing and adding value to the farm produce, we don’t only maximize returns from the produce, but we also promote food security in the country since spoilage and wastage of harvest is reduced as processed goods have long shelf life and well managed.

Our name “Mtengo Wakumunda (Farm price) speaks volumes of our philosophy and what we uphold. We believe that it is possible to process farm produce and sale the value-added products at a cheaper price like farm gate price whilst not compromising on the issue of quality.

As if that’s not enough, by processing farm produce, we also contribute in the fight against malnutrition which is widespread in the country. Since we add value to our products by adding nutritious supplements for instance our brand “Nutritop Wamkaka cereal blend porridge flour” is highly nutritious as we combine several cereals, milk and vitamin A rich sugar which makes the product ideal in the fight against malnutrition. 

 

Mission

Provide high quality processed food products at a farm gate price

Vision

To become a leading food processing company

Core Values

Quality, Integrity, Affordability, Hard work, Transparency, Accountability, Commitment
