Linnet Enterprises is building an integrated, climate-resilient agricultural value chain through livestock production, local feed manufacturing, farm mechanization and climate-smart agriculture.
Who we are
Linnet Enterprises is a Zambian-owned agribusiness headquartered in Senanga District, Western Province. Founded in 1998 as a small-scale livestock operation and formally registered in 2003, the company is building on more than two decades of experience and community relationships.
Today, Linnet is evolving into a vertically integrated agribusiness that connects livestock breeding, feed manufacturing, mechanization and climate-smart farming to support rural economic growth.
To build a commercially viable, gender-inclusive and climate-resilient agricultural model that improves food quality, empowers smallholder farmers and demonstrates sustainable agribusiness practices.
To be a leading catalyst for sustainable agricultural transformation in Zambia and Southern Africa, showing how commercial agriculture can deliver financial returns, climate solutions and community empowerment.
What we do
Our business model links livestock, local crop production, farm equipment and environmental resilience to create practical value for farming communities.
We raise indigenous Barotse cattle alongside improved Bosmara cattle and Kalahari goats, with a focus on animal health, pasture management and genetic improvement. Our goal is to supply quality livestock and improved breeding stock to local markets and farmers.
Our planned local feed mill is designed to improve access to affordable, reliable feed for cattle, goats, poultry and swine, while creating a market for maize and soya produced by local farmers.
We supply ox-drawn ploughs, spare parts and Scotch Carts to help smallholder farmers cultivate more efficiently, move produce and reduce the burden of manual labour and post-harvest losses.
Through agroforestry, ecosystem-based adaptation and exploration of biodigester solutions, we are working to improve soil moisture, protect sandy soils, diversify farm income and reduce agricultural emissions.
Our approach
We aim to build a business that grows responsibly while helping local farmers and rural communities become more productive and resilient.
Training, cooperative development, improved livestock and stronger market connections can help smallholders access more opportunities.
Local feed production can connect crop farmers with livestock producers, while mechanization helps improve farm productivity and transport.
Agroforestry, soil conservation and improved livestock efficiency form part of our approach to protecting natural resources and adapting to climate risks.
Why Linnet
More than two decades of operating experience in Senanga and a practical understanding of local farming conditions and rural markets.
Livestock, feed and mechanization are designed to reinforce one another, strengthen supply chains and create more dependable access to agricultural inputs and services.
Gender inclusion is part of our approach, including an ambition to expand women's participation in agricultural programs, leadership and household economic decision-making.
We seek to work with public institutions, private suppliers, research partners, traditional leaders and cooperatives to build locally grounded solutions.
