The NPC has project in the North West with strong partnership with Sibanye Stillwater in Rustenburg

operations to implement sustainable agriculture operations in line with Social Labour Plans and

Community Social Investments. AMIC is also a member of SAEOPA.

AMIC have established a regional Essential oil famer in Rustenburg Phatsima and Lapologang. We

are a reputable organisation that formed collaboration partnership with reputable banks and Private

Sector such as LANDBANK and Sibanye Stillwater also engaging with other Private company as

offtakes.

The Expression is to request sponsorship of irrigation system and Garden implements for the

community project worth 900ha. This is a long-term community project with great potential

Amic request the sponsorship to increase the plant production and create employment in these

regions also improvement of poverty alleviation which forms one of the government’s key areas to

address, especially in rural areas where there is a lack of economic activity. Government has

intervened with various anti-poverty and implement the anti-poverty activities and integrate advance

innovative concepts in crop farming to match the local priorities.

Amic’s Agric model will required a strong social mobilisation component of all race farmers, business

entrepreneurs, Government to actively support the operations, furthermore strengthen partnerships

between private sector and international markets.

Amic Researched and identified the key areas with crucial elements in Phatsima and Lapologang

and came up with an Agri-Park strategy to benefit the community.

The framework which national and provincial departments, municipalities in the province and community

representatives well as the private sector stakeholders can engage and deliberate to collectively map

ways of improvement for people living in the rural parts of the District.

• Transforming rural nodes into high-potency, catalytic regional rural development anchors and rural

service centres;

• Expanding small-scale farming and supporting small-scale farmers and associated agro -processing;

Socio-economic Context of Local municipality

Agricultural land use is the largest portion of the region, next to dwelling infrastructure and mining sectors.

it can be seen that there is a large amount of unused land that poses certain advantages and challenges

to development.

opportunities within the agricultural sector. The global food crisis and the need for countries to intensify

agricultural activity should be seen as a priority concern. An important component of the infrastructural

network, is access to security, health and transport. Per 100 000 people in the region, the ratio of access

to health care is 3.95, (private health care is 0.72), the ratio of security is 1.08 and the ratio of access to

rail is 0.72. This indicates that within the region, there is clearly access to some of the more important

state institutions. This is very useful in assisting in reducing the burden created by inequality and

unemployment in the region.

Marketing assessment and plans

A market assessment is a study conducted to gather information on the intended market to which the

product or services will be provided to. This study should be able to give a view as to what the needs of

the market and whether the product/ service will be able to meet the much-required solution to the

problem. The 4Ps (Place, Product/Service, Price and Promotion) of marketing make up the majority of

the assessment. The following issues are addressed in a market assessment:

Market monitoring

After having introduced the product to the market, it is crucial to follow a

systematic approach to monitoring performance, customer profiles and marketing

positioning.

Key activities

• Determine areas for market growth.

• Assess customer and distributor satisfaction.

• Refine product features.

Product/output of the activity

Confirmation or modifications of the marketing strategy assumptions.

Funding sources

Venture capitalists (early stage).

12

Trademark registration

The registration process results in a registration certificate which has legal status, allowing the owner of

the registered trade mark to have the exclusive right on the mark. This is aimed at communities that need

to engage in Innovation of their product and cosmetic labels.

Bar coding

In order to sell a product or service, in retail globally, the company needs to be registered with (Global

standard) GS1 South Africa to obtain a bank of numbers. This will be for companies that will be taking

their products to retail with cosmetic lines.

Commercialization

Commercialization is the process where new products are introduced into the market. During this stage,

Amic will be in the possession of a well-documented and bankable business plan as well as a viable

marketing strategy plan that provides the entirely researched documents including the promotion

materials, sales materials and venue at which the launching will take place. Since most money will be

spent on advertising, sales promotion and the suitable venue for launching, the AMIC will raise funds

from LANDBANK also other funding agencies in order to introduce the new product to the market.

Fund Raising

Note: The ‘development stage’ of the planting crops AMIC will verify the core ideas functionality and

feasible, before going further. This helps to ascertain viability, technical issues, and overall direction, as

well as providing feedback for budgeting and other form of commercial discussion and control. .

Should the project want full large-scale plant or piloting AMIC will source venture capital (VC) through

13

other funding institutions that are affiliated to the DTI and DAFF. Note that we need to build a case before

we approach such venture companies as this will assist in speeding up the application process.

Governance of the Farm

Each sustainable Farm Net will require a sustainable model with good debt to equity ratio as Farming is

a medium-term investment.

5 Year AMIC Plan

• Farmer development plan

• Farmer Contract

will be for 5 years with conditions and renewable.

• Based on agricultural usage based on a set plans of essential oils

Farm Product plan

• Nursery will be managed by OPS Manager and supply Identified markets

• Amic sourcing of implements and usage

• Identification of Strategic Partners and Collaboration Agreements

AMIC’S NET SHED CROP PLANTING PROCESS

Background

Net Shed at the Agri park is basically created as a mother block, naturally ventilated climate controlled

to suite variety of applications, Amici’s growing of Essential Oils crop for export market and local markets.

This Net Shed Agri Park structure that is Pre-galvanized channel cum tubular structure/ Tubular

Structure wherein crops can grow under a favourable controlled environment and other conditions viz.

temperature, humidity, light intensity, soil media, disease control, irrigation, Fertigation and other

agronomical practices throughout the season irrespective of the natural conditions outside.

In Amics experience from current project is that the Essential crops are being grown cultivated in the

open field under natural conditions where the crops are more susceptible to sudden changes in climate

i.e. temperature, humidity, light intensity, photo period and other conditions due to which the quality, yield

of a particular crop can get affected and may be decreased.

Farming process use by Amic

Amic loosening the soil, seeding, special watering, moving plants when they grow bigger, and harvesting,

among others. The main steps for agricultural practices include preparation of soil, sowing, adding

manure and fertilizers, irrigation, harvesting and storage

15

Essential oils are liquid products of steam or water distillation of plant parts (leaves, stems, bark, seeds,

fruits, roots and plant exudates). Expression is used exclusively for the extraction of citrus oil from the

fruit peel, because the chemical components of the oil are easily damaged by heat. Citrus oil production

is now a major by-product process of the juice industry. An essential oil may contain up to several

hundred chemical compounds and this complex mixture of compounds gives the oil its characteristic

fragrance and flavour.

An essential oil may also be fractioned and sold as individual natural components. Other processing

options can also produce further products that can be sold alongside essential oils. The plant parts can

be extracted with organic solvents to produce oleoresins, concretes and absolutes or extracted with a

near or supercritical solvent such as carbon dioxide to produce very high-quality extracts.

These oleoresins and extracts contain not only the volatile essential oil but also the concentrated non-

volatile flavour components and these have wide application in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

The solvent extraction processes are more difficult and complex than steam distillation and will normally

be beyond the financial resources of most small-scale processors, but supplying the raw materials to

these extraction plants can be a market option.

The growth markets for uses of essential oils are predicted to be in the rapidly developing countries

(dominated by China and India), Eastern Europe and Russia and less developed countries. Long-term,

the amounts consumed in these growing markets is predicted to exceed the current consumption of the

industrialised countries. Demand is predicted to be greatest for low-value fragrance oils used in soaps,

16

detergents and related products with smaller growth in the flavour oils, mainly for nonalcoholic beverages

(citrus and spice oils) and oral care products (mint oils). A growth in use of flavour oils in the processed

food industries will be confined mainly to developing countries with growing middle-class populations.

Extraction of essential oils

The extraction of essential oils from plant material can be achieved by a number of different methods

and these are shown in the generalised). There are five main methods of extraction:

• Expression

• Hydro- or water-distillation.

• Water and steam distillation

• Steam distillation

• Solvent extraction

For each method there may be many variations and refinements and the extraction may be conducted

under reduced pressure (vacuum), ambient pressure or excess pressure. The choice of extraction

method will depend on the nature of the material, the stability of the chemical components and the

specification of the targeted product. Flowers are generally solvent-extracted and not steam distilled with

the exception of rose. In some applications an isolate or essential

AMIC’S IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS FOR AGRI PARK STRUCTURE

Amic’s strategy is to tackle many of the current food and health challenges, a new form of agricultural

cultivation is becoming more important and attracting much attention and research: Indoor Vertical

Farming, based on a plant-factory system with artificial lighting and controlled environment, for a super-

efficient production of food crops.

One solution to our need for more space and more food might be found in the abandoned warehouses

in our cities, or in new buildings built on environmentally damaged lands and even in used shipping

containers from ocean transports.

High technology Vertical Farming will be utilize in future and will involve growing crops stacked vertically

in controlled indoor environments, with precise light, nutrients, and temperatures. The growing plants are

stacked in layers that may reach several stories tall

Amic will envisaged in Vertical Structure start producing food and herbs. Vertical Farming is definitely

becoming part of the urban scenario in many countries, Amic also will take the opportunity to expand its

farming operation to the vertical planting process.

AMIC Testimony and Current Project in Rustenburg

1. Brief scope of work summary

Amic has been contracted to support 2 X SLP project for planting of essential oils at Lapologang

and Phatsima as well as look at potential investment for land near Rustenburg dumping site for

a different crop.

Fig above shows Phatsima condition and de-bushing needs. The farm was neglected and

remaining five members of the coop were just coming to babysit the site with no work evident.

The site needed to be cleared of long grass and the proposed new site be cleared/de-bushed to

make way for crop production.

The nursery was to be converted into a nursery to supply all farm needs to new farmers. You can

see behind the number of trees that needs to be plugged out and soil to be turned outside the

fence.

23

The above figure is from Lapologang proposed site. The site has no electricity and there are

about 7 X boreholes that have no pumps nor electricity on site. The Lapologang site has no

nursery, farm implements and security is a concern as even the houses get vandalized in from of

security gourds hired by the mine. More upfront funding will be needed here.

Work done to date

The team has concluded the stakeholder engagements and potential participants will all be

concluded beginning of September 2019.Amic has started with setting up a nursery in Phatsima

as well as identifying potential farmers at Lapologang. Farmers at Phatsima will only be finalized:
