RESEARCH AND TECHNICAL SERVICES

ARET conducts research at its three research stations and on farms in major tobacco growing areas. Kandiya Research Station, located in Lilongwe, comprises 95 hectares of land. Mwimba Research is located in Kasungu District, Malawi’s tobacco heartland. The station has 1,400 hectares of land. Kabwafu Research Station, in Mzimba, was set-up on demand from farmers in the northern region who desired to access technologies easily. The setting up of this station enabled ARET to develop site-specific technologies for the farmers in that agro-ecological zone. The station covers 100 hectares of land.
