AFRICA AGRICULTURE

Africa Agriculture Production is a project company with the aim to identify suitable land and develop commercial farms on the continent of Africa, including Indian Ocean, Islands such as Mauritius and Madagascar that form part of SADC . Africa Agriculture Production focus on developing commercial farms in identified areas where there are stable government, infrastructure, water and access to markets. The commercial farms become the hub for rural socio-economic development, job creation and skills transfer, thus ensuring local food security.

 

We have developed a unique model to assist and empower small scale and subsistence farmers that will ensure higher yield per hectare with off take agreements in conjunction with large scale commercial agriculture. Our farms are involved in the total value chain, from cultivating to processing and distributing hi value products into the market, locally, in the region and international.

 

Africa Agriculture Production develops projects with the focus on the total value chain, from producing to refining and export of high value commodities. We also assist Governments in Africa to revitalise the agro pastoral industry and assist with policy making and execution of agro poles.

Our footprint covers the continent from East to West, linking Angola on the west coast of Africa to Mozambique on the east coast of Africa. We focus on title deeds or long-term renewable leases that are published in the country of business.

 

The farms that have been developed includes, but are not limited to Macadamia production, Moringa, oil and powder production, stevia, blue berries, beef cattle, dairy cattle, sheep, Saffron, Honey, potatoes and cash crops such as maize, wheat, soy beans and peanuts. The extend of the farms that we develop normally covers 10 000 hectares per unit, but we have also developed smaller units.

 

The focus of production is on precision farming and we use high tech equipment in all of our operations. We have strategic partners in every domain, from chemicals to seed companies including fertilizer, processing plants and storage, irrigation including pivots, micro and drip irrigation.

Every farm has a state-of-the-art laboratory to ensure compliance with ISO’s, chemical analysis of micro elements and traceability of export products back to the field of production.

 

Africa Agriculture Production assists with all statuary requirements, permits and land acquisition. We work hand in glove with Local, Provincial and National Governments. We also maintain good relations with tribal authorities and respect the history, culture and practices of the host country. We normally negotiate a tax holiday and also assist with import and export permits.

 

The essence of our model is to establish a company in the country of operation and we partner with prospective farmers, where we cluster a small group of commodity specialists into a shareholding system.
