HarvestGlow is a social enterprise established in 2022 by Agronomists passionate about transforming smallholder agriculture in Malawi. The initiative was born out of a shared vision to empower rural farmers through access to affordable, high-quality agricultural inputs and practical agronomic support.

From its inception, HarvestGlow has focused on addressing key barriers faced by smallholder farmers such as limited access to certified seed, fertilizers, and technical knowledge by offering sustainable, inclusive, and locally driven solutions. The enterprise operates with a strong social mission to improve productivity, food security, and rural livelihoods while promoting climate-smart and youth-inclusive agricultural practices.

Over time, HarvestGlow has evolved from a small farmer-support initiative into a growing agri-social enterprise that integrates innovation, capacity building, and market linkages to drive impact across farming communities in Malawi.

Malawi's smallholder farmers face chronic challenges. Over 70% recycle seeds annually, producing yields of only 1–2 tons/ha compared to 4–5 tons/ha with improved varieties.

Government subsidies totaling over $100M per year often reinforce dependency rather than build local capacity. Women, who provide 70% of farm labor, own less than 15% of land, limiting their economic agency.

Limited processing infrastructure further reduces market access, with value addition remaining below 10% in the agricultural sector. Climate shocks exacerbate vulnerabilities, reducing productivity and incomes.
