Investment in the agricultural sector is key to our corporate strategy. Our vision is to rebuild the horticulture sector of Zimbabwe through stimulating local production and developing local processing whilst exceeding international export standards. Ibis Farm is 850 ha, with 150 ha arable land -- 100 ha cropping and 50 ha vegetables.
The farm boasts a Horticulture Centre of Excellence, whose beneficiaries are the Zimbabwe Horticultural Industry and Dutch companies interested in starting or expanding their activities in Zimbabwe. The centre has partnered with the world's leading specialists and NGOs to ensure access to superior technology, training of the highest global standards, access to capital, cutting-edge growing techniques and a viable and sustainable route-to-market.
Key to our success is the empowering of local small scale farmers, sharing best practice, knowledge and a transfer of expertise in order to enrich and strengthen the Zimbabwe agribusiness sector. This business is set to expand rapidly, with a regional focus on re-investing inland and empowering local communities.
Medium-term plans include state-of-the-art greenhouses, cold rooms, warehousing, receiving centre for small scale produce, central packhouse, canning & bottling plant and distribution centre.
