Business Model

Business Strategy

Our business strategy is to establish large quantities of small community farmers, that are already running their own operation on land that is available to them.

We combine the production of all these small farms and then construct infrastructure for the processing and packaging of the products that produced. Thereby giving them secured off-take agreements and an off-set for their products on retail shelves.

We assist farmers with a turn-key solution and a ‘farming-in-a-box’ product, complete with training, business development skills, mentoring and monitoring for continuous improvement. This helps to build sustainable farm systems for the future generations.

Brand Promise / USP

Guaranteed off-takes no matter the size.

Action Plans

Establish sustainable farming projects with high quality produce, delivered fresh to retailer's shelves,
utilising the manpower, land, capital, and existing or new infrastructure of these farming communities.

Assist Primary Cooperatives from the Previously Disadvantaged Groups,
farming on community land to establish new farming operations on a turnkey basis.

Assist existing farmers with marketing startegies and activities
and securing special off-take agreements with buyers and retailers.

Train local farmers and farm workers, basic skills and technical know-how of farming
via our mechanisation centre and skilled artisans.

Create opportunities for newly trained farmers to deliver contract farming services to local farming communities,
