dcterms.abstract | In 2016, Victoria Mwafulirwa took her first steps into Malawi's small scale agrifood processing landscape. Her venture, Homes Industries, began almost by accident in the northern district of Karonga. After a lucrative catering contract with a local company ended, Mwafulirwa shifted her focus to producing groundnut flour, seizing a market opportunity that has since blossomed into a beacon of hope for thousands of smallholder farmers across Malawi's Karonga, Chitipa, and Nkhata Bay districts. | en_US |
