What does it mean to lead with faith, purpose and service in a changing world?

At MEDA Convention 2026, we’ll explore questions that sit at the heart of leadership today:
→ What does servant leadership look like when progress takes time?
→ How can businesses serve people while responding honestly to market realities?
→ What does faith ask of us in business?

On Sunday morning, Wayne Bremner will explore that final question during Business as a Calling, drawing from nearly 30 years of experience with Mennonite Central Committee.
From leadership and business to faith and service, Lead with Light will bring these conversations together in Tampa this November.
📍 Tampa, Florida
📅 November 5–8, 2026

The rainy season is over, and farmers are harvesting their maize fields. But what comes next?

At Yafika Agri Ventures, we listened to the voices of the farmers we serve. They told us that their need for agricultural support does not end with the growing season. They asked us to bring agrochemicals, vegetable seeds, and storage solutions closer to their communities, just as we did with certified fertilizer and seed.

Despite the recent theft at our agro-dealer shop, we remain resilient and committed to doing more for the communities we serve.

Pictured here is , a hardworking group of women, men, and youth engaged in irrigation farming at Kuziona Village, Mwanza. The group is currently producing cabbage and has sourced its farming inputs through Yafika Agri Ventures.

Recently, our Sales & Operations Officer, Gift Mbalati, visited the group following their request. During the visit, he provided technical guidance and was impressed by the determination, dedication, and hard work demonstrated by the smallholder farmers in the last mile.

At Yafika Agri Ventures, we are committed to serving farmers beyond the planting season and bringing essential agricultural services closer to the last mile.

Harvest season is finally here, and the fields are telling beautiful stories. 🌱

This season, farmers supported by Yafika Agri Venture are seeing a clear difference in their crops through access to quality seeds and fertilizers provided through input loans, lay-by arrangements, and walk-in sales within the last mile in Mwanza District.

Across different communities, farmers are harvesting with smiles, hope, and renewed confidence. The results remind us that when farmers access quality inputs on time, they can truly thrive.

For us, this is more than a harvest. It is a reminder that supporting smallholder farmers creates lasting impact.

We are inspired to reach and support even more farmers in the coming farming season.

What has harvest season looked like in your area this year?

On 26 April 2026, Yafika Agri Ventures experienced a devastating robbery at our office during the night, despite the presence of a security guard. Agrochemicals, seeds, post-harvest storage bags, grain protection chemicals, and an office computer were stolen, with the total loss estimated at approximately USD 2,200 (MWK 3.8 million).

This painful incident came shortly after we had successfully supported 147 smallholder farmers through our D-Prize - supported initiative, surpassing our initial target of 100 farmers.

Encouraged by the growing trust from farmers, chiefs, and local leaders, we had expanded our support to include summer farming inputs and post-harvest solutions.

The loss has greatly affected our operations and has been emotionally and financially difficult for our team, especially at a time when we are still recovering loans and resources from ongoing farmer support activities.

Nevertheless, the Yafika Agri Venture management team has since met to assess the situation and explore responsible and sustainable ways of recovering from this setback while continuing to serve farming communities.

The matter was formally reported to the police, and investigations are ongoing.

Although this incident has slowed some of our planned activities, it has not taken away our commitment to supporting last-mile farmers with affordable and quality agricultural inputs.

We remain hopeful, resilient, and deeply grateful for the encouragement and trust that our farmers, partners, supporters, and communities continue to give us during this difficult time.
