Promoting the Viability of Investment in Feed Manufacturing

This project aimed to demonstrate the commercial viability of investing in local floating fish feed production to attract sustainable investment in the sector.

Completed in March 2022, through this 21-month partnership Lenziemill sought to pioneer the production of floating fish feed in the country. CASA supported Lenziemill to map potential fish feed customers nationwide and developed a comprehensive marketing and distribution plan. Based on the findings of the demand mapping survey, the company adapted the feed mill’s tail-end to re-assign some capacity of the feed mill towards production of animal feeds, aligning operations with existing market demand. CASA further supported Lenziemill to identify and link 1,410 smallholder farmers into the company’s supply chain for soyabean and maize. It further developed and also facilitated the company’s adoption of the necessary fiduciary management policies, systems and tools (e.g., fraud detection, accounting and comprehensive procurement systems), which improved the company’s organisational and operational position as a business. Lenziemill was also supported to obtain licenses for cage installation in Lake Malawi. The total cost of the project was £76,810 in technical assistance and a grant. Lenziemill seeks £946,000 in debt or equity financing to expand its business.
