Owning a tractor and various soil cultivation implements used to be part and parcel of commercial crop farming in Malawi. However, many farmers have now switched to a new business model: one which doesn’t necessitate extensive equipment ownership. Innovative agricultural solutions company Farming and Engineering Services (FES) is a pioneer of this trend. In addition to purely selling equipment, the company has evolved its business model to offer a host of contract farming solutions, including land preparation, crop spraying, material handling, bulk water management, full maintenance leasing and harvesting.
