PITCH

There is a growing interest of people to engage in agriculture but they often don’t have Skill or knowledge to engage. Since I have the Skill, the willingness to get dirty and utilize the land and i have invested in knowledge over years, then I can make use this to be able to pull resources to provide the poultry services. Teach Waste and recycling, Food security , end Hunger and increase wealth

My project is about Agri-Business (Poultry) in Kasama Northern province of Zambia. The type of business will have two sectors in it. Farming to produce the raw materials needed for the making of feed for the poultry business. Many people especially women and girls are the victims in this hunger and poverty pandemic that led to early marriages, highly dropout of school and prostitution. How the plan is that the business will keep 5 000 (Five thousand layers) and 500 Village chicken (for breeding). The organization will then engage the villager especially women and girls at the poultry farm and men at the farm. The organization intends to support the community by providing training on how to manage and keep the chickens especially the village chickens which are easily available at very lower cost.

1. Intentionally, the organization after undergoing training of its workers, each will be given twenty village chickens to go at keep for Profit and household keeping.

2. At the farm, the organization has twelve hectors of land which will be used to grow sunflower, ground nuts, Maize and Soya Beans for feed production.

3. The organization will be using a cycling system where the raw materials for feed making will be coming from the farm and the manure from the Poultry houses will be taken to the farm instead of using chemical fertilizer. This will reduce the cost of production and will help the community understand on how they can do away with hunger using the available local resources.

4. Additionally, Soyabean and sunflower from the farm will further be processed to produce cooking oil for daily cooking and a large scale. This will also increase the Income and employment.

5. Poultry business is a lucrative business because the product is used in ways such as daily relish, baking and breakfast. Many people would like to enter into this business but the start-up capital is just too high especially the cost of feed. In the region we do not have companies producing chicken feed, there are all imported from Lusaka and Kitwe. Distance from the source of raw materials is another barrier, however, Graste Enterprise has come up with the idea of making up its own feed hence securing 12 hectare of land

6. Within Zambia, there are few firms that specialize in the development of chicken meat and egg manufacturing under agriculture. This is a mature market, and the predicted future rate of growth is predicted to equal that of the common economic system. The requirement for chicken has continued to remain powerful despite the economic system.

7. The government in its 7^th National Development Plan and Zambia Vison 2030, the government is putting the promotion of agriculture is a first priority. This has made the agriculture to receive some tax exemption especially on purchases of fixed assets.
