Description

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree or Diploma in Agriculture, Agribusiness, Animal Science, Farm Management or a related field; Agricultural qualification is an added advantage
  • Minimum 2–3 years of practical farm management or agribusiness operations experience
  • Demonstrable hands-on experience in at least three of the following: livestock, poultry, apiary, greenhouse, cocoa, maize or banana production
  • Strong understanding of start-up farm dynamics — ability to build systems from scratch and manage in resource-constrained environments
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with proven problem-solving and innovation capabilities
  • Solid numeracy and inventory/record-keeping skills
  • Leadership and people management experience — able to motivate a team in a remote setting
Responsibilities
  • Oversee all day-to-day operations of the Tindi Agribusiness Initiative — scheduling, task assignment, progress tracking and staff performance management
  • Build, train and motivate a cohesive farm team, fostering a culture of accountability, innovation and learning
  • Manage and develop the livestock unit — including cattle, goats, and other animals — ensuring proper feeding, health monitoring, pasture management and record-keeping
  • Establish, maintain and upgrade pasture systems — introducing improved grass varieties, rotational grazing and fodder production for optimal livestock productivity
  • Oversee crop husbandry operations including cocoa, maize and vegetable production — from land preparation through planting, weeding, pest management and harvesting
  • Manage the banana plantation — suckers, soil fertility management, bunch management and market linkage
  • Operate and maintain the greenhouse unit — managing controlled-environment crop production, irrigation scheduling and post-harvest handling
  • Manage the apiary (beekeeping) — hive maintenance, honey harvesting, colony health and processing for market
  • Manage the poultry unit — broilers and/or layers, feed management, disease prevention, production records and sales
  • Maintain a robust farm inventory system — tracking inputs, equipment, produce and assets with accurate records
  • Develop and implement a farm marketing strategy — identifying buyers, negotiating prices, building supply relationships and ensuring timely produce sales
