Failing agriculture policies forced Chankwakwa to diversify in an attempt to fully reach its potential. So in the year 2000 Chankwakwa ventured into the food processing industry. With the attainment of a dehydrator Chankwakwa began to manufacture full fat soya flour with a vision of teaching and training on the nutritional benefits of soya. The desire to maximize on the use of Zambian grown produce resulted in a number of years of tedious experimentation. Different processing techniques were studied and suitable marketable products were tested for the local as well as the export markets. A factory was set up on the farm in 2003, after first operating for three years on rented property. This facility was built according to HACCP standards as Chankwakwa took aim at the export market. Chankwakwa empowers small scale farmers by giving them the know-how on fruit and vegetable growing so as to be able to produce quality crops. Our local support and involvement in the areas of health, education, and the environment benefit around one thousand families.
