Project Description: May-Ndombe Park Agri-Business Project

Overview: Introducing the May-Ndombe Park Agri-Business project—a transformative initiative poised to revolutionize agro-processing in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Spanning 25,000 hectares, with 2,000 hectares already secured for Phase 1, this project is set to create a robust agro-processing facility that empowers local communities and strengthens market linkages for smallholder farmers.

Strategically located in Kwamouth, just 370 kilometers from Kinshasa, the project site enjoys easy access via road or a scenic six-hour boat ride, sitting at the confluence of the Kwah and Kasai Rivers with the mighty Congo River. This prime location offers fertile land and convenient access to major transport routes, making it an ideal hub for agricultural production and processing.

Why Invest in the May-Ndombe Park Agri-Business Project?

  1. Diverse Agricultural Activities:
    • The project encompasses a wide range of agricultural activities, including crop cultivation, livestock rearing, poultry farming, and fishery production. By establishing an integrated production and processing operation, we aim to deliver high-quality food products powered by sustainable energy sources—solar and biomass—serving both the Congolese and broader African markets.
  2. Community Empowerment and Economic Opportunities:
    • Our innovative out-grower scheme is designed to empower local communities by providing smallholder farmers with access to markets, training, and resources. This initiative will not only enhance their livelihoods but also foster economic resilience in the region, creating significant opportunities for local farmers and entrepreneurs.
  3. Alignment with Regional Trade Goals:
    • In alignment with the objectives of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), the May-Ndombe Park Agri-Business project seeks to harness the immense potential of the region’s agricultural sector. Our commitment to sustainability and innovation will enhance food security and promote economic growth across the DRC and beyond.
  4. Sustainable Practices and Food Sovereignty:
    • By focusing on sustainable agricultural practices, we aim to create a model for food sovereignty in Africa. Our approach not only prioritizes environmental stewardship but also ensures that local communities benefit from the agricultural value chain, driving sustainable growth.
  5. Strategic Location and Accessibility:
    • The project’s strategic location provides easy access to major transport routes, facilitating the efficient movement of goods and reducing logistical costs. This advantage positions the May-Ndombe Park as a central hub for agricultural production and processing in the region.
  6. Market Demand and Growth Potential:
    • With the increasing demand for high-quality food products across Africa, the May-Ndombe Park Agri-Business project is well-positioned to meet this need. Our integrated model enables us to tap into both local and international markets, ensuring profitability and growth.

Conclusion: The May-Ndombe Park Agri-Business project represents a bold step toward agricultural excellence and economic empowerment in the DRC. By combining sustainable practices with innovative community engagement, we are not just creating an agro-processing facility; we are forging a pathway for sustainable growth, community development, and food sovereignty in Africa.

Join us in this exciting venture to shape a brighter, more sustainable future for agriculture in the region. Your investment in the May-Ndombe Park Agri-Business project is an opportunity to be part of a transformative initiative that promises significant returns while making a lasting impact on local communities and the agricultural landscape of the DRC. Together, we can cultivate a prosperous future for generations to come.
