Zambia has 900,000 small scale and emergent farmers registered with Zambia National Farmers Union – 80% of these are unbanked and have little or no access to capital
Small scale and Emergent farmers who cultivate land of between 0.5 and 100 hectares
Between 24 and 60 months dependent on equipment financed and cashflow generation
Opportunity to scale existing model is dependent on access to economically sustainable Funding Lines
Meld between commercial sustainability and deploying ‘Impact Funding’ ensures solid Brand equity
Minimal (if any) competition and an existing and insatiable market – our ability to reach more farmers depends on the scalability of our model to deploy more Field Officers into existing and addiitonal Districts
AgLeaseCo is grateful to the People of the Federal Republic of Germany for indirectly providing the Seed Capital for what is a much needed and empowering Business Model. We touch the lives of thousands of Zambian small scale and emergent farmers through a regulated business that has both commercial sustainability and rural impact at its very heart. The model works, we have four seasons of experience to prove this. AgLeaseCo is ready for expansion, secure in the base from which we will launch into other deserving agricultural regions of Zambia. A pivotal part of the Value Chain, AgLeaseCo is proud to be changing lives as it mechanises Zambian farms.
