Enough Food For All 2023 Report and Prospects
Main Segments - Current Agriculture Garden (Eggplants, Tomatoes, Hot Chilies, Onions) Fields (Peanuts, Soy, Manioc, Mais) Breeding Chicken Pigs Transformation & Distributions Seeds Distribution
What we have done so far - Details Agriculture Garden (Eggplants, Tomatoes, Hot Chilies, Onions): the land has responded well to produce these products. Fields (Peanuts, Soy, Manioc, Mais): Beside Mais, everything else is in very good health and hoping to get expected results Challenges: Transport cost (50%) to take these products to Kinshasa markets. Lessons learned: Target super markets for better prices and having own transport increases margins.
What we have done so far - Details Breeding Chicken: the construction of 2000 chicken is on going Pigs: Planned from the dry season July 2023 (Cap: 200 300 animals) Transformation & Distributions We are aiming to add values to our meats by transforming most of it, create solid distribution channels in Kongo Central. Seeds Distributions: We tested seeds from Kenya, some of them gave good results. We are considering importing large quantity of these.
Where to from here Breeding Chicken Q2 2024 Q4 2024 (6 Months) Q2 2025 (6 Months) Revenue Estimation $ 32k $ 40k 2000 - broilers 2000 - broilers 4000 broilers 2000 - layers 4000 - layers 500,000 Eggs $ 69k - $ 83k The cycle for boiler is 2 3 Months Max The cycle for layers is 6 Months. This is a trial farm that will be expended to larger space from Q3/4 2024 with potential to go over 40,000 birds and more.
Where to from here Breeding Chicken Construction Update: Ceiling: 800$ - 900$ Concrete for floor: 350 400$ Wire Mesh Wood for Windows Metal door Electrical Installation Farm Equipment Update Drinking Equipment will be made locally for now- Feeding equipment - will be made locally for now- Heating equipment - will be made locally for now- Feed grinder: Engine 600$ + Structure 250$ + Labor 200$
Where to from here Breeding Pigs Q2 2024 Q4 2024 (6 Months) Q2 2025 (6 Months) Revenue Estimation tbc -- 20 females + 2 males 100 animals
Where to from here Agriculture To Focus on Manioc (Cassava, Soy, Peanut and Mais) as these are main inputs for animal feeds. Stop with gardening while searching for firm contracts with Super Markets and before acquisition of own transport. Shift focus to seeds distribution. Aim for 100 Hectares for Cassava this year in Joint venture with large landowners
Call for Actions We are calling for NGOs, development organizations and financial institutions to support EFFA in acquisition of Machineries: Agriculture: Tractor and accessories Transformation machine to produce animal feeds Transformation machine to transform chicken to various products.
