Grow Retail
The first area of focus is the growth and expansion of retail outlets is a key area of focus for Sondelani. The company already has chick distributors in Gwanda, Gokwe, Gweru Hwange, Plumtree, Victoria Falls and Zvishavane. The plan is to leverage of these relationships and diversify the retail outlets from chicks, feed, and broiler related equipment and vaccines into seedlings, fertilizers, chemicals, drip tape, cropping equipment and other farmer inputs. We have seen that small scale farmer production can be best unlocked in synergy with large scale capacity, and these retail shops are the first leg in building capacity amongst small scale farmers. To this end we have continued to build partnership with leading equipment and agricultural input suppliers who are drawing from resources all over the world. In addition there are plans to open retail outlets currently in Chiredzi and Chivhu, and in the future to expand by way of depots in smaller towns and growth points.
