Our Mission & Values

As the founder of Fortress Rock Investments, my journey began with working in the development sector administering donor funding to various institutions that worked with rural communities in agricultural production which contributed to food security and uplifting communities through sustainable agriculture.I envisioned a farm that not only produces essential crops like rice, maize, groundnuts, and cassava but also plays a pivotal role in ensuring that these staples are accessible to those who need them most. By focusing on high-quality production. I acquired my first 10 acrea farm in Lilongwe in 2013 where I grew Soya and various high quality local vegetables which I supplied to Spa and Food Lovers. I then acquired the 46.5 hactare land in 2020 in Mtachi village in Nkhotakota. The enterprise aims at supporting the nutritional needs of not just the surrounding community but the entire country while fostering economic growth and resilience of the firm. Fortress Rock Investments commitment to sustainable practices ensures that we are not only meeting today's demands but also preserving the environment for future generations.
