Monica Jimson is an agricultural professional and Agronomy Manager at M+L Farms Limited, responsible for the technical management and agronomic performance of the company's commercial mango production operations in Salima, Malawi. In her role, Monica provides technical leadership across the farm's orchard management activities, working to ensure that M+L Farms achieves high standards of crop health, productivity, fruit quality and sustainable agricultural production. Her responsibilities encompass the practical application of agronomic principles throughout the mango production cycle, from orchard establishment and soil management through irrigation, nutrition, pest and disease management, flowering, fruit development, harvesting and post-harvest handling. Technical Leadership As Agronomy Manager, Monica plays a critical role in translating M+L Farms' commercial objectives into effective field-level production systems. Monica's role is particularly important as M+L Farms expands its mango orchards and moves towards higher levels of commercial production. M+L Farms is developing a diversified mango portfolio comprising Tommy Atkins, Kent and Keitt varieties. Monica's technical leadership is therefore focused on establishing production systems capable of delivering consistent yields and commercially desirable fruit quality while maintaining the long-term health and productivity of the orchards. Her approach places emphasis on the relationship between soil health, irrigation, nutrition, plant health and orchard management rather than treating individual production challenges in isolation. Sustainable Agriculture A key component of Monica's approach is the development of production systems that are both commercially productive and environmentally responsible. Her work supports M+L Farms' objective of improving productivity through: Efficient irrigation → Better soil management → Balanced nutrition → Integrated crop protection → Improved fruit quality → Higher marketable yields
