The investment case
A structural gap, with policy behind it.
Namibia imports around 80 per cent of its processed food. Government import substitution, retailers' local-sourcing programmes and SADC trade advantages all point the same way.
A model that locks in supply and demand.
Direct contracts with 40+ farmers, growing to 100–150, feed four routes to market: retail, wholesale, online and government supply.
Proven, compounding growth.
Revenue rose from N$282,500 in 2023 to N$442,090 in 2024 and N$516,882 in 2025.
A clear plan to scale.
Industrial machinery to lift capacity three to four times, retail reach growing from 4 to 20 stores, and an e-commerce channel on the way.
Impact that investors can measure.
Reduced post-harvest losses, 30+ rural jobs and 100+ women and young people trained, aligned with UN SDGs 2, 8 and 12.
