Modern Company Improving Botswana’s Agriculture

Greenhouse Technologies started in 2011. Amanda Masire, Director, sits in consultative council of the Ministry of Agriculture where both she and Greenhouse are recognized as a respectable partner. Greenhouse sells modern and profitable methods of farming, providing turnkey solutions to horticulture farmers in Botswana. Greenhouse is a company that specializes in supplying seeds and fertilizers to farmers that have been subsidized by Botswana government.

In addition to supplying horticulture products to farmers, Greenhouse provides the right installation of those products for consultancy, planning, training, soil/water testing, & interpretation of results.

Amanda Masire, the Director says: “After I identified the gap between resources (government grants) and customers (lack of services), I decided to do consultancy, retail and installation of horticulture projects particularly for the Ministry of Agriculture. I have formed PPP (public private partnership) with the government of Botswana who allocated 1.6 hectares of land in Gaborone to start production, training, and demonstration farm.”

Botswana Agriculture sector is immensely opportunistic, with a tradition of farming but lacks service providers. Amanda Masire states: “I am looking for suppliers and investors to be more competitive. By branching out and re-branding I will better contribute to my country. I would like to share my ideas with individuals whose objectives are to enhance revenue, improve agriculture in Botswana and ultimately food security worldwide. ”
