A connected plan for agriculture and food production
Stone Agro is a proposed integrated agribusiness project spanning Tanzania, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Its planned business lines connect maize cultivation with maize seed, packaged flour, animal feed and polypropylene woven sacks.
The model brings farming and downstream processing within one programme. Proposed investments include mechanised farming equipment, irrigation, grain storage and drying, milling, seed cleaning and grading, and packaging facilities. Intended customers include agro-dealers, cooperatives, wholesalers, retailers, commercial farms and industrial packaging buyers.
The business plan presents three phases over 36 months. It states total project investment of US$62,365,642, with proposed debt financing of US$33,592,426 and the balance funded from retained profit. These figures describe a proposed financing model; they do not establish that funds or future profits are available.
