Company Overview

Na Nyosi was established in 2017, beginning our journey in beekeeping with just one hive in our backyard. Due to growth and community safety concerns, we initially expanded to six hives but faced challenges that necessitated a downscale, ultimately leading to some hive collapses. To overcome these obstacles, we reached out to the local chief and were granted access to a designated piece of land for our operations, with mutually agreed upon payment arrangements in place. We are seeking funding to develop the allocated land, which spans approximately 38 hectares. Our immediate goal is to cultivate 5 hectares, expanding by an additional 5 hectares each year as our operations grow. We plan to focus primarily on onion cultivation, alongside other crops based on market demand, providing us with a diverse portfolio and resilience against fluctuations in the market. Na Nyosi has conducted thorough market research and secured letters of agreement with pivotal agencies, including Springs Fresh Produce Market, Tshwane Market, Joburg Market, and Krystal Consulting. Our collaboration with the Economic Development And Spatial Planning - Fresh Produce Market Division at Tshwane Market indicates an excellent opportunity for growth, especially by supporting informal traders from our local municipality and neighboring areas in the Nkangala District. This initiative will significantly reduce transportation costs and enhance profit margins for these vendors. In addition to our agricultural plans, our beekeeping project remains operational, currently supplying raw honey to four retail outlets—three grocery stores and one coffee shop, all located in Johannesburg. As part of our funding application, we plan to expand our operations by adding more hives. This will enhance our ability to provide essential pollination services.
