Macadamia exports from Malawi hit $6.8 million in 5 months, nearly doubling from last year.
Farmers are earning up to $13 per kg. With global demand rising, this crop is quietly becoming Malawi's third biggest export after tobacco and tea.

Malawi has one of world's lowest levels of electricity access. Only 14% of Malawians (5.6% in rural areas) are connected to grid. So, forests are cut, burned - 20% of forests lost in last 20 years. Biogas production is proposed as solution, burning farm waste to make electricity.
