The pig industry in Botswana plays an important role in improving the standard of living by creating
employment opportunities, providing a source of food and generating income. The growing tourism
industry has contributed to the boom in pork consumption in Botswana, where pork is traditionally
not preferred. However, demand exceed supply where over 900 metric tons of pork are imported
annually to supplement local production estimated at 400 metric tons annually.

Agrifronts is partnering with pig farmers with established land and resources for pig production.
Using Pool and Cluster Model (PCM), the investors are pooled together and their investment
combined with available resources to ensure sustainable production. These individual farms are
subsequently clustered with others as well as connected with players in the value chain who provide
inputs and market. This allows the small farms to operate as large farms due to economies of scale
and bulk purchases of inputs. Agrifronts provides the professional management services enabling
the investments to thrive.

We therefore invite you to invest in this project with expected return on investment of 15% in 12
months.

1. Lease of farm and infrastructure
2. Production cost per unit
3. Labour

Farming comes with risks. Through careful selection of farmers and crops, the selection of necessary crop insurance, agronomy support and market analysis we mitigate them.

Climate Risk :

  1. Weather information determines optimal timing of planting and harvesting
  2. Solar powered irrigation systems
  3. Certified drought tolerant seeds

Soil Risks:

  1. Data-driven crop selection, preserving soil quality over the long term
  2. Regular soil health checks so yields are maximized season after season
  3. Organic methods used where possible, reducing the stress placed on the soil

Farmer Risks:

  1. Working with trusted farmers & cooperatives with whom we build relationships
  2. Supervised production, with advice on modern techniques offered to all farmers
  3. Produce from different farmers in multiple locations is combined, reducing the risk that a contract cannot be fulfilled

Crop Failure:

  1. Crop insurance that covers unavoidable pests or diseases and adverse weather conditions
  2. Supervised production, including crop loss mitigation techniques
  3. Contracts with large off-takers provide guaranteed markets with a fixed price and quantity

With your investment we provide farmers with the needed resources to improve food production and earn more
