ABOUT NAMANGU INVESTMENTS LIMITED

Premium quality low-fat white rabbit meat

Our rabbit business thrives on the out-growers model where we capacitate our rabbit farmers by providing better rabbit breeds, breeding training, and establishing mini breeding centers. With funding, we will organize our rabbit farmers in a rabbit cooperative where we will provide extension services like medical insurance using rabbits

Current Capacity:

We have over 10,000 mobilized rabbit farmers, and we currently have 2,000 registered active rabbit farmers in the Kigezi region, each farmer has an average of 20 rabbits that are readily available for sale. With our collection center at Namangu Investment, we can house over 5000 rabbits at Ntugamo with another collection and proposed processing center to be set up around Kampala where a place has already been secured in Seeta. We also have a truck to bring rabbits from our collection center ntugamo to Kampala and a distribution pick up van

Impact: Jobs-

In addition to the formal jobs, over 2,000 rabbit, farmers will benefit by selling rabbits.

We have trained and supported 20 youth to add value to rabbit meat in Kabale by selling roasted rabbit meat, and have given rabbit breeds and breeding training to our 2,000 registered farmers. We have set up 10 mini breeding centers in communities where our registered farmers are. Eating rabbit meat has reduced protein-related childhood malnutrition, and has also improved family income in Kigezi.
