The nuts from Thyolo Nut Company's orchards are processed in the company's nut cracking facility, the most modern in Malawi, to produce this quality product.

Thyolo Nut Company produces 2,500 tonnes of nut in husk on 850 hectares of macadamia orchard.  From this, together with additional crop from surrounding estates, 350 tonnes of edible kernel are produced and exported to all parts of the world. Nuts are sold for direct consumption by the end user as well as for use in baking and confectionary.

The company first planted macadamia trees in the 1970's. In 1990, development of large orchards began and these will continue to produce an increasing crop to 2015 and beyond as the trees mature. 

Until 2006 these nuts were exported in their shells for further processing. In 2007 Thyolo Nut built and commissioned a nut cracking facility to process the nut in shell into saleable, edible kernel. This has saved Malawi scarce foreign currency and created 130 jobs, previously performed offshore. By exporting only the kernel, carbon emissions from road and sea transport have reduced by 70%.

Factory production and orchard nut handling capacity is presently being upgraded and increased to process the larger crop and reduce the time from tree to processed product, thereby improving quality.
