The Five Fibre Farmers Hemp Project is planned as a fully integrated agricultural enterprise, designed to manage every stage of the Hemp Production, including fibre, hurd and oil. All facilities will be constructed on the farm for managing the 2 crop cycles per year and fully scaled to the entire 10,000 hectares of land available. This includes but is not limited to: drying barns, ethanol production facilities, oil extraction infrastructure, hemp decorticators and packaging plants.
Five Fibre Farmers will make use of an on-site nursery to plant and generate sufficient well climatised seeds, catering for 20,000 seeds per hectare that will be planted twice per annum. The farm has been planned as an entirely green farm without the use of electricity from the national grid, and powered exclusively by a 4 Mega Watt Solar plant and battery back-up.
Strategic partnerships and supply agreements have already been established for the required machinery and equipment infrastructure. Deutz-Fahr supplies all the tractors, Rovic (Previously Rovic Leers) all the implements, and Agrico with specialised equipment and all the centre pivots. All the land and Agricultural rights have been securely acquired along with the initial machinery, whilst additional assets are lined up pending the final funding arrangements. These partnerships ensure that the project is equipped to scale efficiently and effectively once the ball starts rolling.
10,000 hectares (25,000 acres) will ensure that Five Fibre Farmers have the single largest hemp farm in Southern Africa, together with all associated in-house processing plants, enabling FFF to dry 300,000 tons of wet material per season during the 21 day harvesting cycle. This ensures we can store the dried flowers in temperature controlled warehouses, awaiting the oil extraction of 6 million kilograms of CBD oil during the 6 months prior to the next harvest. An estimated 55,000 tons of stems will be able to be decorticated and processed during that same 6 month interval.
With a direct corridor to Maputo Port secured, export logistics are firmly in place to position our products into both regional and international markets with ease. regional and local businesses will be supported whilst developing a wide range of products.
Five Fibre Farmers is offering investors the opportunity to support our sustainable, large-scale agricultural venture that will combine environmental consciousness and diversified product potential with an ensured and logistical advantage.
