Carbon Opportunities for Malawi’s Macadamia & Mango Farmers
Malawi’s mango and macadamia farmers have a hidden advantage: the power to fight climate change while boosting profits. This report reveals how sustainable practices can turn your farms into carbon sinks—sequestering more CO₂ than they emit—and open doors to premium markets, carbon credits, and innovative income streams.
Key Takeaways:
Macadamia farms already net +1.25 tCO₂e/ha; mango farms +1 tCO₂e/ha—with potential to scale further.
Sell carbon credits or market carbon-negative produce to eco-conscious buyers for higher prices.
Pilot projects like Neno Macadamia Trust show real earnings: £30/tCO₂e for smallholders.
Risks exist (price volatility, upfront costs), but smart strategies—like cooperative carbon projects—can maximize gains.
