Since 2011, Carl Heinrich Bruhn as founder and CEO of Amatheon Agri Holding N.V. has established a sustainable agri-business in sub-Saharan Africa over the last 10 years which employs several hundred permanent staff members and up to 1,000 seasonal workers. At agricultural production sites in Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe, crops such as wheat,  and rice as well as high-value spices such as peppers and chilies are produced. Storage capacities and processing facilities enable the company to distribute its products to customers both locally and internationally. Since inception, Amatheon’s business model involves not only the development of commercial farming operations but also the inclusion of Africa’s rural population. Over the years, a network of more than 4,000 smallholder farmers in Zambia and Uganda has contributed to the company’s entire value chain with sustainable production. Through the integration of the Real Meat Africa Group, Amatheon Agri has also been active in the meat production sector since 2015. The expansion of activities into other countries in Africa is planned.
