Krugersdorp, Hartebeestfontein
There are 3 revenue generating pillars on this farm.
The first pillar is the broiler enterprise with 2 broiler chicken houses currently fully operational and groundworks for 2 more broiler houses are already been prepared. The sizes for these 2 houses are1085m2 per house and the capacity is 25 000 broilers per house. An Environmental impact assessment was done, and 8 broiler houses with a capacity of 45 000 broilers each were approved. Then there is a smaller shed, that is currently utilised as a broiler house with a capacity of 5000 chickens. The seller had future plans to build an abattoir on the farm, so started to convert a 430m2 shed is into an abattoir - It is still in the starting phase - only partially tiled . Take note: Keep in mind that no application has been submitted yet to operate an abattoir. If the buyer wants to start an abattoir, he/she would need to apply from the authorities to get such permission.
A broiler poultry farming business is a very profitable venture. Currently SA does not produce sufficient quantities of broiler meat to satisfy demand). The seller will from his side, try and negotiate a contract with a local abattoir, to raise and supply broiler chickens to the abattoir - for the benefit of the buyer. Take also not he can not guarantee such a contract.
