Markets Served
Africa
West Africa
Nigeria - The largest African producer of peanuts at 3 million tons annually, this economy is perfectly positioned to unleash its economic potential through our system, to add value to peanuts at the economic level it matters most.
Sudan - At production levels around 1 million tons per annum, this small scale system allows small players to enter the market and leverage the opportunity that value added brings to small scale processors
Ghana - With production under half a million tons, and with a very enterprising culture, Ghana is well positioned to use our system to improve incomes, employment and living standards
Senegal - Has been a major producer of peanuts, with annual production at around 1 million tons, but is constrained by few processors and a lack of alternatives. With our system, small scale processors or farmer co-ops can create an alternative to their traditional markets and realize their dreams of higher returns on their peanuts
South Africa - This country produces both peanuts and sunflower seeds, and is therefore uniquely positioned to leverage our system to process 2 crops. With their relatively sophisticated infrastructure, South Africa is well positioned to generate rural employment, improve rural incomes, and simultaneously become power and water producers through our unique integrated technology. It also allows small scale processors an entry point into the market which is dominated by large, capital intensive processors
Other significant markets:
West Africa:
Burkina Faso
Chad
Mali
Niger
Ivory Coast
Gambia
Eastern & Southern Africa:
Mozambique
Malawi
Zimbabwe
Tanzania
Uganda
All these countries have production ranging from 50,000 tons to 500,000 tons, and have the potential to use our systems to fast track economic growth right in the rural areas where it is needed most, with lowest relative Government support, allowing small players to become self supporting and play a major role in generating wealth and economic activity, while at the same time raising rural living standards
Asia
China
The largest global producer of peanuts, this market has the greatest potential to convert this opportunity into economic benefits. Much has been said in the recent couple of years of the widening income gap between the urban and the rural. Our system represents a paradigm shift towards redressing that balance, leveraging both the agricultural resources as well as the innovative and entrepreneurial human spirit. China produces over 13 million tons of peanuts annually, and is well positioned to let small players enter the market, and build from that entry point.
India
The second largest producer in the world with an annual average production of about 7 million tons. There is a thriving small scale industry, however, power supply problems are numerous, and diesel fuel is costly and largely imported. The Government’s emphasis on small scale processing fits neatly into this system, and provides significant benefits with integrated processing, power and boiled water production
Indonesia
Peanut production is estimated to be around 1 million tons annually. Small scale processing combined with power production and boiled water production could make a siginificant economic contribution
Vietnam
Myanmar
Thailand
These economies have sufficient production to be able to invest in and benefit out of our systems by processing at site, and simultaneously producing power and water
South America
Argentina
The largest South American producer of peanuts, and a significant and active world player, with production of around 500, 000 tons annually, much of which is exported.
Brazil
A significant producer of peanuts and a growing global economic player, which is focused on improving power supply infrastructure, this country stands to gain immensely by the distributed processing that out integrated system brings to the production mix
Each and every one of the above mentioned countries stand to gain immensely by investing in our system, and availing themselves of our integrated processing system. Rural economies would be stimulated, value added would be pushed lower down the income chain, and wealth would be generated at the poorest levels of the economy, where it is needed most.
It would also be done by self empowerment, that is, by the weak helping themselves through market mechanisms to lift their incomes and standards of living. This system, with only a minor modification, runs equally well on sunflower seeds. The financials differ from peanuts, but operationally, they apply equally to both oilseeds. Choose your oilseed and do your due diligence.
