Our objective is to become the pre imment
Moringa producer or leaves and oil in the
world
GRoAfrica will produce Moringa leaves for nutritional
products & oil
“Moringa shows great promise as a tool to help overcome some of the
most severe problems in the developing world—malnutrition,
deforestation, impure water and poverty. The tree does best in the dry
regions where these problems are worst.”

Mozambique – Food Crops
•
The Mozambique economy is booming thanks mainly to large natural resources
project in coal and, soon, LNG and oil. The IMF predicts a growth rate of 8.4%
annually for the coming three years. As a result the middle class will grow and
demand for food products is growing significantly. Mozambique is also well placed
for export and the Middle East is a large important market for soy meal and other
animal food crops.
Soybeans: Mozambique is a net importer of soybeans due to the rapid growth of the
poultry industry across the country. The largest poultry factory in the country is 20km
away from our site. They have confirmed in a letter of intent their desire to buy all
production.
Maize:
A large mill is in operation very close to the farm. They have expressed an
interest in buying all production.
Paprika:
We have secured an offtake agreement from a South African food trading
and processing company for paprika production.
Guar Beans:
For the oil fracking industry and cosmetic/food industries

farmer planting Maize and Tobacco. Being a small scale operation Arrie was exposed to the practical aspects of farming and
the importance of a practical approach to farm life was entrenched. It was during this time that he also studied for his
Diploma in Animal Production. After a number of years he was head hunted by a large operation where he managed the
farming operations which included a 3500 hectare project with a number of crops, the majority being maize and soya. He
also managed a herd of 250 cattle and 6000 sheep. Arrie then decided to expand his management skills and took a position
as branch manager of Redibox, a packaging company supplying the agricultural industry. He managed all aspects of the
branch including the financial and stock control, HR and logistics. Annual turnover in the branch was $5.2 million. This gave
him an opportunity to hone his general management skills, but after a number of years he wished to return to his favorite
occupation, that of farmer. He took up a position as farm manager where he managed a diversified operation with 687
hectares of irrigation. Irrigation included drip and pivots with a variety of crops under each. It was at this time that he was
approached to join the Sun team in Mozambique. His practical abilities and understanding of both diversified crop farming
and the machinery needed in such an operation, makes him indispensable to an operation in Mozambique

About Jatropha
Few advantages of Jatropha are :
 Jatropha is adapted to a wide range of climates and soils.
 It can grow almost on any type of soil whether gravelly, sandy
or saline and thrives even on the poorest stony soils and rock
crevices.
 It is a drought resistant perennial living up to 50 years.
Jatropha is desirable as a source for biofuels given that its
seeds produce up to 40% oil, and the species in general is
highly resistant toCompany
