BACKGROUND
AKSHAYA INVESTMENTS LTD is a Zambian company specializing in the aggregation and packaging of various types of grains and legumes which are packaged and sold in smaller units in the retail markets right across the country.
The business operates in over 5 provinces in Zambia, collaborating with farmers in Eastern and Central provinces (Cowpeas, Groundnuts and other small legumes), Northern and Muchinga provinces (Millet and Sorghum). AKSHAYA Investments Ltd has observed that small holder farmers’ grain production is hampered due to inefficient post-harvest processing methods. The business further plans to improve this process by installing necessary equipment line at a strategic point in the value chain as part of promotion of environmentally friendly packaging of grains.
AKSHAYA INVESTMENTS LTD is specialized in the aggregation, cleaning, processing, and packaging of legumes, small grains, and other grain commodities. The business is therefore a key player in the Agribusiness value chain providing linkages for farmers on one end and finished good off-takers such as Pick n Pay and Choppies on the other end.
