our crops

The geographic placement of the farms gives a wide variety of local climates that, in turn, give Africa Invest the capability to produce a diverse range of crops. A combination of irrigation (that is being introduced to all farms) and crop rotation enhances the scope still further, paving the way to multiple crops and harvests throughout the year.

Currently, Africa Invest is producing Bird’s Eye Chillies, Potatoes and Paprika. All of the crops are of the finest quality verified by independent ‘auditors’. You can find more details on each crop below.
