The Malawi Agroforestry Extension Project (MAFE-project) operates under a cooperative agreement between the Government of Malawi, USAID and the Washington State University.

The project does research, development and test marketing to support the sustainable exploitation of under-utilized agroforestry and wild plant species. 

Besides Jatropha curcas and Moringa oleifera 
five other indigenous oil-bearing species are under investigation:
Natal Mahogany (Trichilia emetica)
Manketti (Schinziophyton rautanenii)
African Star-Chestnut (Sterculia africana)
Marula (Sclerocarya birrea)
Neem (Azadiracht indica)
