Jora Agro LTD started with a young 27-year old lady. Today, it remains a leading business in sustainable and organic farming. Most of our team members are from surrounding neighborhoods and communities.
Jora Agro LTD collaborates with neighboring farmers and communities to implement a crop rotation system, a longstanding and widely recognized agricultural method. Through mutually advantageous partnerships with community farmers, Jora Agro LTD ensures that all of its produce follows a scheduled crop rotation. Engaging in these crop rotation agreements benefits every farmer involved, as it allows us to collectively prioritize the optimal maintenance of our fields."
Jora Agro LTD invests in communities with the aim of enhancing the well-being of both individuals and the community. We foster a culture of active volunteering among our team members, encouraging them to support local schools, small-scale farmers, underprivileged families, and community-based organizations. Furthermore, we provide support through sponsorships, donations, and in-kind contributions to initiatives that benefit our communities. In 2022, our team members dedicated over 80 hours to volunteer work, and we made substantial contributions to local schools."
Every year, more than 10 kg of maize and 10kg of bean seeds are donated to local needy farmers to plant in their fields where they grow more than 80kg of maize or beans within months. They also receive trainings facilitated by agricultural officers hired by Jora Agro LTD on good agricultural practices. After the harvest, a farmer is allowed to give back an amount of their choice of their yields back to the same program as an in-kind repayment. He/she uses the remaining yields to feed their families, sell extra on the market or replant for the next season.
We actively work with schools in the communities that we farm, allowing supervised farm visits and visiting classrooms to teach about sustainable agriculture to our fields to connect agriculture with everyday life.
Jora Agro LTD runs an “Eggs for Education” program by partnering with local schools and communities to establish a sustainable egg production initiative to keep a child in school. The company provides training and support to the participating schools, SHGs and CBOs on poultry management and egg production. The eggs produced are then sold to generate funds to support education for needy children. This program at times involves various fundraising activities, such as selling eggs to local markets, restaurants, or directly to community members. The funds raised are used for school fees, educational materials, uniforms, or other necessary resources to support the education of underprivileged children.
