MALAWI. Lilongwe: Emmanuel Banda is a young innovator who would like to lead Malawi’s green technology’ revolution.
He is the co-founder of Noble Agriculture Technologies, a green technologies agriculture start-up.
Banda, a graduate of the Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources, is already manufacturing greenhouse technological devices like greenhouse dryers and hydroponic system among others.
Malawi is an agro-based economy with agriculture contributing over 80 percent of the country’s Gross Domestic Produce ( GDP).
But most farmers do not use advanced technologies in farming.
“We have used primitive methods of farming for long. The reason me and my colleagues decided to establish Noble Agri Tech was to improve agriculture productivity and profitability,” says Banda.
