About Us
Nachambo Estate is a newly established, rapidly growing 200-hectare commercial farm in Zomba. Our operations focus on high-value Macadamia orchard development, alongside intensive Chili production launching a Commercial Banana plantation.

We are looking for an energetic, ambitious, and hands-on recent Graduate Farm Manager who wants to grow alongside our company and lead our field operations.
Key Responsibilities

- Record Keeping: Maintain meticulous data on inputs, chemical applications, poultry mortality rates, crop yields, and daily farm expenses.
Qualifications & Skills Required
- Education: Minimum of a Diploma or Bachelor’s Degree in Agriculture, Horticulture, Crop Science or Agricultural Enterprise Management from a recognized Malawian institution (e.g., LUANAR, NRC, MZUNI).
- Experience: Open to recent graduates with strong, practical internship or college attachment experience.
- Mindset: A “can-do” entrepreneurial attitude. Must be willing to live on-site or near the farm and work flexible, farm-lifestyle hours.
- Leadership: Strong communication skills in both Chichewa and English, with the ability to manage a rural workforce effectively.
- Tech Literacy: Basic skills in MS Excel or mobile apps for farm logging and data recording.
What We Offer
- Financial Growth: A competitive basic starting salary of MWK 350,000.
