Project Pitch

The project aims to establish a climate-resilient farm and processing facility in the Otjozonjupa Region to produce high-nutrient livestock feed from drought-resistant Moringa oleifera and Super Napier grass, alongside a commercial feedlot for premium beef production.

The model integrates crop cultivation, feed processing, and cattle fattening into a closed-loop system to address the national crisis of drought-induced livestock feed scarcity, restore farmer livelihoods, enhance food security and employment creation. The project will cretes 45 permanent employment and 80 casuals. Having validated the concept through a successful pilot, the company now seeks investment to acquire a 200-hectare serviced farm, scale up production, and supply both surplus feed to communal farmers and finished cattle to established off-takers like Meatco. The facility aims to process feed for thousands of farmers and fatten up to 2,500 head of cattle annually, targeting domestic and regional markets across Southern Africa.
