Salima, June 25, Mana: Salima Sugar Company Limited (SSCL) has donated maize to the National Food Reserve Agency (NFRA) as a crucial step towards ensuring food security in Malawi.

In an interview on Monday SSCL Chairperson, Wester Kosamu, highlighted the importance of this maize donation in addressing hunger in the country.

Kosamu reaffirmed the company's commitment to meeting President Dr Lazarus Chakwera's call for increased production of commodities through the Mega Farm initiative.

"We have initiated this project to cultivate maize and aid government in its mission to feed the nation," he said.

NFRA Operations Director, Cosmas Belekan, commended Greenbelt Initiative and underscored the positive impact the donation will have on many Malawians.

"I can confirm that the donated maize will significantly contribute to achieving food security in the country," said Belekan.

He, therefore, encouraged other organizations willing to donate maize to join efforts in replenishing Malawi's strategic food reserve.
