Climate
A long, reliable growing season with warm days, cool nights and a defined dry season for harvest and drying. Natural sunlight does most of the work that costly lighting does elsewhere.
Why Malawi
The right latitude, the right soil, the right people
Malawi has been described as an emerging cultivation hub for good reason. Most of the advantages are agricultural rather than commercial — which is exactly why they last.

Natural advantages
Why the crop suits the country
None of this is unique to us — it belongs to Malawi. Our job is to farm it well.
Fertile soils
Deep, well-drained soils across the central and northern regions, farmed productively for generations and responsive to good rotation and soil management.
Altitude
Much of Malawi's farmland sits on plateaus between roughly 800 and 1,500 metres, giving the day–night temperature range that plants respond well to.
Water
Lake Malawi and the Shire river system support established irrigation farming, and we design our schemes around efficient, measured use rather than abundance.
Skilled workforce
Agriculture employs the majority of Malawians. The country's tobacco and horticulture sectors have produced a workforce already fluent in nursery work, field discipline and post-harvest curing.
Competitive production costs
Sunlight-grown cultivation with local labour and locally available inputs keeps the cost base well below indoor production in Europe or North America.
Government regulation
The Cannabis Regulation Act (2020) created the Cannabis Regulation Authority, which licenses cultivation, processing, storage and export of cannabis for medicinal and industrial use.
Export potential
Air freight through Lilongwe and Blantyre, plus established regional corridors to seaports, connect Malawian produce to buyers in Europe and beyond.
