Mmakuba Blueberries South Africa
Mmakuba Blueberries is a concept developed primarily to enter the small but smart scale farming niche market as new black female entrants to the agricultural sector. We wanted to make productive use of land without it being expansive yet, choosing high yielding crops with sustainable returns in terms of good economic returns, high social and ecological impact.
Our focus will range from high value crops (such a blueberries and moringa) and small livestock such as Boer goats. Blueberries will be the first of these projects.
Mmakuba Blueberries is a 50 -hectare agricultural zoned land situated on a 600-hectare game lodge (Mmakuba Game Lodge) just outside Mookgophong (Naboomspruit) Limpopo Province of South Africa.
AgriLiving offers a complete farming solution from “Concept to Sales” for the
entrepreneurs who want to invest in this lucrative blueberry business.
The employees will be treated in fair manner with better than industry payscale. In addition the EMPLOYEES TRUST will take care of the medical insurance, scholarships for the children, etc.
It is a broad-based economic benefit model, in which 10% of the profits are issued as dividends to the Employees Trust to benefit all the employees associated with the project .
TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE PROJECT
It is economically profitable, environment friendly and socially equitable. It can serve as a model to be followed across the country.
