We expanded the farm in Mahina to start a pilot poultry project with 1000 layers in addition to corn production.

We expanded the poultry project from 1000 to 5000 layers. During this time, we also rented 230 acres of land where we expanded the corn farming (150 acres) and began rice farming on the remaining 80 acres.

We continued to expand our poultry farm in Mahina Ward to 9000 layers and introduced battery cages. Besides, we started the distribution of animal feeds and agricultural inputs. During this time, we also expanded rice and corn farming to 307 acres distributed almost equally.

Together with farming, we expanded activities and introduced selling of agricultural products in the lake zone regions of Tanzania. The activities included training individual farmers and groups on crop risk management and animal feed solutions. Our offices provide advisory support to individual farmers and groups in the lake zone regions of Tanzania.

We expanded activities to include seeds, inputs, technology and technical knowledge through our zonal offices in the Lake Zone regions and beyond.

In January 2019, we acquired 12 acre farm in Muleba district, Kagera Region where we started piloting avocado farming.
