Introduction

Toleza is a large 4,500 acre commercial farm which has a herd of nearly 600 cattle. It has an expanding local outgrowers programme and has invested heavily in on-farm processing plants that enable it to produce Flour, Cotton Lint, Oils, Soap and other products. Anxious to conserve its woodland and original forest area, Toleza has ambitious plans for replanting to sustain a balance between the forest and farmland.

The farm intends to operate on a sustainable basis and to be self-sufficient and carbon neutral. With over 150ha of Jatropha already planted, it is anticipated that the farm will be producing enough oil to be completely energy self-sufficient in 2012. Take a look at what we do on Toleza Farm
