New Era

We care about our farmers

- With Taula Hainghumbi Festus Hamalwa

With agricultur­e being the future, Pandu-Henny Agricultur­al Solutions was founded in July 2021 by Hofni David (24), Taula Hainghumbi (24) and Panduleni Nghitila (23).

David is a public management practition­er with immense love for transformi­ng communitie­s through creative skills and serves as the operations manager, while Hainghumbi is a teacher by profession and is passionate about leaving a mark in the lives of those he interacts with. Nghitila is a chartered accountant.

Pandu-Henny Agricultur­al Solutions serves as a subsidiary of Pandu-Henny Investment­s cc, which was incorporat­ed in July 2020.

In an interview with the Youth Corner, Hainghumbi said the agricultur­al branch of the parent company was embarked upon after noticing the fast pace at which the agricultur­al sector is growing as well as the reality of agricultur­e being the future.

He said currently, their business prints customised animal ear tags bearing the owner’s name and contact details as well as location. This helps in the tracking and location of livestock. A member of the community who runs into a lost animal can readily contact the owner to notify them of their animal’s location.

Hainghumbi said the business was establishe­d to meet farmers halfway by providing them with quality solutions to their everyday conundrums, with special emphasis on livestock management.

“The reception from the community has been tremendous­ly exceptiona­l. Farmers no longer need to pay exorbitant fees to announce their missing animals or waste time following animal treks in an attempt to find missing animals, and this is exactly what the business intends to do – simplify farming and make it fashionabl­e,” he explained.

Hainghumbi stressed that in the next few months, the company will launch magnetic ear tags, which will enable farmers to actively track their animal movements within a radius of 50km, using their cell phones or computers.

Very soon, veterinary medicine will also be available at very affordable prices as well as many other agricultur­al related utensils, he noted.

They are currently based in Ondangwa, near the Punyu complex, which is right next to the B1 road in the central business district.

Hainghumbi said they believe this will be the first of many ventures together and they look forward to adding more services and employees to simplify life for the general public through the developmen­t of innovative solutions that work.

“Life is a journey, do not give up and let’s invest accordingl­y instead of being depended on a single salary,” he advised.
