The problems for farmers.
The top 2 reasons preventing farmers from growing are:
1. Access to finance
It takes many months, or even years of time and financial investment to grow and maintain farm assets before they are ready for harvest.
This creates a massive cash flow dilemma, as conventional lenders in South Africa don’t accept growing assets as collateral.
Our innovative Crowdfarming™ solution creates ethical and sustainable access to finance for farmers.
2. Lack of adequate management systems & integrated AgriTech.
As a cow farmer, it’s hard to keep track of your assets using notepads and excel spreadsheets.
This lack of instant, and accurate access to info creates potential for unnecessary losses and incorrect decision making.
So we’ve created a free and simple mobile phone app to help you easily and effectively manage your farm, track and even sell your cattle.

Why do farmers need investors?
Farmers have the skills to grow assets but they may need more working capital. Banks and conventional funding methods do not accept growing crops as collateral. Livestock Wealth finds investors for farmers, helping them to access capital whilst their livestock grows.
Why do investors need farmers?
We provide a service to investors who may not have the skills nor the time to farm for themselves. We enlist the qualified farmers to take care of our investors assets and work towards our projected returns.
