12.1 Phase 1: Establishment (Years 1-2)
The initial phase focuses on establishing the core farming operation, building market relationships, and proving the production model. Key activities include completing all infrastructure, achieving first and second harvests, establishing supply agreements with at least three major offtakers, and building the Company’s track record and reputation in the market.
12.2 Phase 2: Optimisation & Value Addition (Years 3-4)
Phase 2 focuses on operational optimisation and the introduction of value-added products. This includes expanding cultivated area to 450-480 hectares, introducing a branded premium maize meal product for the retail market, establishing export supply arrangements with SADC buyers, and investing in advanced precision agriculture technologies to drive further yield improvements.
12.3 Phase 3: Scale & Diversification (Year 5+)
The third phase targets significant scale expansion to 600 hectares, crop diversification into complementary products (soybeans, sunflower), deepening of SADC export relationships, and potential acquisition of adjacent farmland. This phase also contemplates the introduction of on-farm processing capabilities for higher-margin downstream products.
