Company Description

Kalapula Agribusiness Ventures (KAbV), located in the vibrant community of Samfya in Luapula Province, Zambia, is an emerging leader in sustainable and regenerative agriculture. The company operates an innovative integrated farming system that combines piggery, aquaculture (fish farming), and crop production within a circular, zero-waste model in which each component supports and strengthens the others. This regenerative approach maximizes resource efficiency, minimizes waste, and enhances long-term farm productivity and environmental sustainability.

Through this system, KAbV aims to produce organic fertilizers and high-quality animal feed derived from agricultural and food waste, two of the most significant cost drivers in crop and livestock production. By developing these locally produced alternatives, the enterprise seeks to reduce reliance on expensive imported chemical fertilizers and commercial animal feeds while improving affordability for farmers.

To accelerate the expansion and impact of this model, KAbV is seeking experienced grant acquisition specialists and funding strategists to support the identification, development, and mobilization of funding opportunities.
