Grospace - Investment Poultry

Poultry Sector Investment Opportunity through NEF

GroSpace is presenting an unparalleled opportunity to revolutionise the poultry industry by empowering black farmers through wealth transfer, extensive skills development, job creation, and a structured long-term business model. This initiative focuses on leveraging the resources and expertise of GroChick to foster sustainable economic transformation.

Comprehensive Overview of the Investment Model

The investment strategy involves establishing 12 fully operational poultry farming systems, each requiring a capital injection of R2.5 million. These systems will be anchored by guaranteed offtake agreements with GroChick, ensuring consistent revenue streams and long-term profitability for farmers.

  • Total Capital Requirement: R60 million
  • Rollout Timeline: 2 years
  • Offtake Contract Tenure: 50 years
  • Projected Annual ROI: 22.8%
  • Expected Monthly Profit per System: R47,000

The plan is to secure funding from the National Empowerment Fund (NEF), which will conduct rigorous audits to ensure that selected farmers meet operational and governance standards. Given the NEF’s preference for large-scale projects, the bundled R60 million proposal aligns perfectly with their investment focus.

Structural Breakdown of Each Business Unit

Each poultry farming system will be equipped with the following key components:

  1. Breeding Flock:
    • 800 high-quality breeding hens.
    • 100 robust roosters.
    • These breeders are specifically selected for egg-laying hens that are optimal for producing strong chickens. They free-range well and are highly efficient layers, ensuring a consistent and high-quality supply of eggs.
    • The flock will be raised as free-range breeders to enhance egg quality and support sustainable farming.
  2. Advanced Hatchery System:
    • 3 setters and 1 hatcher, each with a capacity of 2,160 eggs.
    • The hatchery is designed to produce 800 day-old chicks (DOCs) weekly under optimal conditions.
  3. Guaranteed Offtake Agreement:
    • The agreement covers:
      • 2,160 fertile eggs per week sourced from free-range breeders.
      • 800 day-old chicks per week produced by the hatchery.
    • GroChick will supply the necessary flock and hatchery equipment, ensuring a seamless start-up process for farmers.
  4. Support Services:
    • Ongoing technical support and training will be provided by GroChick to ensure farmers can maintain consistent production and meet quality standards.

Incentives for Investors and Facilitators

GroSpace offers significant incentives for individuals raising capital through the NEF:

  1. Commission Per Farmer: R50,000 for each farmer successfully funded.
  2. Bonus for Achieving Targets: Upon meeting the target of securing funding for 12 farmers, a bonus of R100,000will be awarded.

These incentives are designed to motivate facilitators to achieve their targets while actively contributing to economic transformation.
