  1. An emerging leader and developer of Green Alternatives for Energy And Agricultural Food crops in Africa

  2. Our Business • Zambia – Moringa plantation, Guar Bean, Soya & Biomass • Mozambique – Food cropsincluding Paprika, Soya (and otherfoodcrops) • Liberia – investigatingrehabilitatingpalm plantations, Jatropha plantations for biodiesel and cassava for bio ethanol • Canada – evaluatingbiomassenergywithShrubWillow, oil shale energyresearch

  3. Zambia – Moringa (the Tree of Life), Jatropha PRESENTATION NAME Moringa Could save millions of lives • GroAfrica recently expanded to Zambia where executives have years of experience in Zambia • A land package is currently being sought (3500 + HA) for establishing a Moringa Tree commercial plantation • Operations expected to commence in Q3 , 2013 • Strong local Zambian management & partners Company Name Our objective is to become the pre imment Moringa producer or leaves and oil in the world

  4. GRoAfrica will produce Moringa leaves for nutritional products & oil

  5. “Moringa shows great promise as a tool to help overcome some of the most severe problems in the developing world—malnutrition, deforestation, impure water and poverty. The tree does best in the dry regions where these problems are worst.”Source: Andrew Young, former Atlanta Mayor and United Nations Ambassador

  6. Other Moringa Benefits

  7. Yields on small bush trees with small fertilization and no irrigation = 4 yields per year for about about 100 tons of leaves per HA.Yields on small bush trees with considerable fertilization and irrigation can yield up to = 9 yields per year and up to 700 tons of leaves per HA

  10. Mozambique – Food Crops PRESENTATION NAME • The Mozambique economy is booming thanks mainly to large natural resources project in coal and, soon, LNG and oil. The IMF predicts a growth rate of 8.4% annually for the coming three years. As a result the middle class will grow and demand for food products is growing significantly. Mozambique is also well placed for export and the Middle East is a large important market for soy meal and other animal food crops. • Soybeans: Mozambique is a net importer of soybeans due to the rapid growth of the poultry industry across the country. The largest poultry factory in the country is 20km away from our site. They have confirmed in a letter of intent their desire to buy all production. • Maize: A large mill is in operation very close to the farm. They have expressed an interest in buying all production. • Paprika: We have secured an offtake agreement from a South African food trading and processing company for paprika production. • Guar Beans: For the oil fracking industry and cosmetic/food industries Company Name
