Paramount Holdings is set to officially launch a revolutionary fertilizer Eagle Nano liquid Urea tomorrow at the 2025 Agriculture Trade Fair in Blantyre.
The new foliar fertilizer, which has received government approval through the Ministry of Agriculture, promises to significantly reduce farming costs while improving crop yields. At MK65,000 per half-liter bottle, the product costs less than half the price of conventional fertilizer bags that sell for around MK150,000.
Speaking in an interview, Samson Munthali, an agronomist at Paramount Holdings has described the fertilizer as game changer and it has already been tested and the results and feedback from farmers has been encouraging.
“Trials have been done, demonstrations have been done and as of today we did a lot of trials. The results have been endorsed,” said.
The fertilizer is applied directly to plant leaves and boasts a 90% working probability compared to the 60% effectiveness rate of traditional fertilizers. One half-liter bottle is sufficient to treat one acre of land, equivalent to one bag of conventional fertilizer.
Last year, the company conducted trials with one farmer, expanding to 20 demonstrations this year. "The feedbacks that we are receiving from farmers is very encouraging," Munthali noted.
The product is manufactured in India and Paramount Holdings serves as the sole distributor in Malawi.
The presentation of the fertilizer took place during the ongoing Agriculture Trade Fair at the Trade Fair Grounds in Blantyre which runs under the theme "Towards Commercialization and Economic Transformation Through Smart and Sustainable Agricultural Systems."
