Many Zambians are passionate about cattle farming, but are handicapped because they do not have the land, resources or the time it requires to run a cattle farm. The four main challenges to become a cattle farmer is the cost of doing business, land acquisition, access to finance and road infrastructure.

An innovate idea was born when a firm, Cattle Wealth Management, was launched. They decided to challenge these difficulties and offer farmers at heart the opportunity to live out their dreams. “We identified a need in the agriculture sector in specifically cattle ranching,” Joel Chitambala, a Director at Cattle Wealth Management Firm, says. Our business model allows for individuals to grow their own herds of cattle on our commercial ranches with 24-hour expert management.”

According to Joel, a farmer doesn’t necessarily have to have land or a kraal to own a cow. Neither does he need to have a herdsman or the know-how to own a cow. “We at Cattle Wealth Management will do all this on his behalf at an affordable and reasonable once-off purchase price of a cow, on agreement that we share in the off spring. We believe that this will work well for our clients as they won’t have to dish out an additional cash lay-out. Our clients should just know that their herds are growing. Risks relating to factors such as diseases or death will all be taken care of by us.”

Cattle Wealth Management offers an unique opportunity to invest in a novelty of a product against the common traditional investment in money markets. Joel assures farmers that their product is affordable, flexible and with a better return on investment in what is regarded as Africa’s green gold – the agriculture sector.

Cattle Wealth Management has tremendous ambitions for growth. They regard Zambia as the springboard into other countries. “Zambia is our flagship market in the short to medium term phase. Our future expansion plans spread into the SADC region to begin with and eventually into Europe on a sustainable ‘farm to fork’ model. This is based on the growing need from consumers who want to know where their food is coming from,” Joel says.

“As Cattle Wealth Management, we are strategically positioning ourselves to tap into Zambia’s eight land-linked neighbours that will provide an even larger market base.”

Other opportunities lie in the fact that food safety and particularly meat quality are becoming more and more of a requirement amongst consumers. This is an opportunity for the agri sector to ensure they are safety and quality compliant in order to send products to the overseas retail markets as well. Investing in cattle is worth more than gold. Be part of the next generation of farmers and business leaders who will be responsible for food security in an uncertain future. All this can be done through a once-off purchase or via an instalment facility – interest free.
