Ziweto Enterprise

Improving the rural livestock value chain through affordable veterinarian services

2016 SEED Africa Award Lauréat-e Sustainable Agriculture Lilongwe, Malawi

Ziweto ensures that promising young people are able to become entrepreneurs, create employment and impact their communities.

Ziweto revolutionises the way that livestock and animal health services are offered to smallholder farmers with the potential to empower hundreds of professionals and create thousands of jobs.

Ziweto Enterprise has set up a network of franchise agro-veterinary shops in remote rural areas that provide veterinarian services, including diagnosis and medicine products, to smallholder farmers. Ziweto franchises also offer trainings on sustainable animal husbandry and facilitate the smallholders’ market access as intermediaries.

The business model is filling a gap by reaching livestock farmers in underserved communities through selecting local entrepreneurs and equipping them with a line of suitable veterinarian products and services, training and branding materials.
