SMART Botswana 2014

Welcome to the blog of the Cornell University 2014 SMART Program project in Botswana!

SMART brings together students from across Cornell's many disciplines to address problems faced by SMEs, NGOs, and other organizations in developing countries. 

Our team will be working with FoodNet Holdings (Pty) Ltd, a growing piggery farm in Bokaa, about 35km from the capital of Botswana, Gaborone. Since the company was founded, the farm has grown from 4 pigs bought on impulse at a local livestock auction to nearly 100 pigs in total. FoodNet primarily sells pork carcasses to retailers and wholesalers. Individuals are supplied with whole carcasses or portions on request. FoodNet Holdings also has hosted trainings for individuals interested in starting pig farms in partnership with the Botswana Ministry of Agriculture. 

The long term goal of FoodNet Holdings is to become a recognized leader in pork production, processing and packaging. 

During our two weeks in Botswana we will analyze the piggery and pork industry and use this information to provide expansion scenarios for FoodNet Holdings.

  1. I have been lucky enough to work with Mr Pedro, and their team recently organized an amazing experience for granting me a loan of 760,000.00 Euros at the low rate of 2% rate in return, they give any kind of loan financing. If you are looking for a loan that offers internationally without credit check then Mr Pedro is the right person for you to contact and his amazing team but also takes a real time to check on their website and their service. Mr Pedro Office Email Address: pedroloanss@gmail.com In Financial Services! This is for you. Thank you for caring so much.
