Who it is for

We work with:

Agribusiness investors and farming companies considering Zambia.
Food and agro-processors looking at local production or processing.
Input suppliers entering the Zambian market: seed, fertiliser, crop protection, irrigation and equipment.
International buyers sourcing Zambian agricultural products.

What MRX does

Market and value chain assessment for your crop, product or input.
Farm, land and facility options identified and checked on the ground.
Partner search: off-takers, distributors, outgrower groups, processors and service providers.
Company set-up, licences and permits, with licensed professionals.
Supplier verification for buyers: farm and facility visits, capacity and quality checks, sampling.
Operational set-up and ongoing management support.

We have supported a European crop protection producer with distributor introductions across East and Southern Africa, and we run sourcing mandates for international buyers of African agricultural products.

How it works

1. A first call

You tell us what you want to achieve. We tell you honestly whether we can help, and how we would approach it.

2. A defined scope

A written proposal with the deliverables and the timeline. Every mandate is scoped and quoted individually.

3. Work on the ground

Our people visit the farms, facilities and partners, and report what they saw, not what was claimed.

4. Clear reporting

Findings, recommendations and next steps in writing. If you want us to stay involved through execution, we do.
