Our story
Building more than a farm
Yikhanathi Farming & Projects (Pty) Ltd is an integrated agricultural enterprise based at Majwarheni Location in Tsomo, Eastern Cape.
The business combines commercial pig production and maize cultivation into a practical, scalable and resilient farming model. Our work is driven by the belief that agriculture can create sustainable income, employment, food security and long-term rural economic value.
Strong crops produce quality feed. Quality feed produces healthy pigs. Healthy pigs build stronger businesses and stronger communities.
What we do
Three connected operating pillars
Each operating pillar strengthens the next, helping us control costs, improve productivity and build a more sustainable enterprise.
Maize Production
We cultivate maize to support internal feed requirements, improve supply security and generate agricultural income.
Feed Integration
Home-grown maize is combined with selected ingredients to support healthy growth, feed efficiency and production cost control.
Commercial Pig Production
We produce piglets, growers, finishers and breeding animals for butcheries, processors, farmers and individual customers.
Our integrated value chain
A circular business model
Our business operates as a continuous cycle. Maize supports feed production, feed supports pig growth, pigs create products for the market, and market income is reinvested into the next maize production cycle.
The money generated from customers does not leave the system—it helps fund the land, inputs, infrastructure, livestock and people required for the next cycle of growth.
