Situated within the Luena Farm Block in northern Zambia, the farm spans approximately 2,100 hectares, with a planted area of 1,100 hectares .
The location offers ideal conditions for producing high-quality avocados in large volumes. It is bordered by the Kalungwishi River to the east and the Mupoposhi tributary to the west.
The area receives an average annual rainfall of over 1,200 mm, benefits from abundant perennial water sources, and remains very sparsely populated.
The moderate temperatures, summer cloud cover and abundant rainfall of the location make our farm ideally suited for avocado farming with minimal supplemental irrigation required.
A large scale project with an appealing harvest season providing a distinct supply window for international markets.
Consistent farm practices combined with complete control of the product from field to table, make us a dependable and recognizable brand.
We provide a reliable, large volume sourcing opportunity for buyers, becoming a one-stop practical solution to alleviate volatile supply chains.
We believe in promoting growth for all and continually evaluate the way we do things, acknowledging the impact of social and environmental management on overall sustainability.
Being located in an undeveloped rural area with very high unemployment rates, we are fully committed to creating as many local jobs as possible, while stimulating local businesses that support our operations.
Our primary focus has been to develop the infrastructure for the local community, creating permanent, seasonal jobs for men and women, while imparting training to uplift the local skill pool.
Our labour practices are fully compliant with strict Zambian employment laws. But taking care of our personnel goes well beyond this legislative compliance - it is a fundamental part of our organisational ethos.
