President Lazarus Chakwera administration has resurrected crocodile farming in the country, a development which has caused fear and panic amongst Malawians.
MCP administration is popular for killing innocent people of disenting views by feeding them to the crocodiles.
But speaking after visiting Nyika Farms Limited Minister of Industry, Roy Kachale on behalf of President Chakwera, touted Crocodile farming as one of the potential forex generators for Malawi.
“After renewing their licence which falls in the category of Export Processing Zone Licence-EPZ, we thought it wise to visit and hear some of the challenges the farm is facing and how Government can step in to assist,” said Kachale.
Reg Carvalho, Managing Director for Nyika Farms, which is currently breeding over 12 thousand crocodiles, said the farm is looking forward to having Government support as COVID-19 has heavily impacted on their crocodile skin production and exports.
“We need support from Government so that we can be able to export already processed products, like shoes, bags and belts among others,” said Carvalho said.
The farm is also a tourist attraction centre as people go and see the crocodiles. The company has over 30 employees who take care of the crocodiles.
