THE REAPERS BUSINESS MODEL

Our business model is based around Rural Development. The out-grower farmer must reap what they sow. We at Reapers have a robust business plan that allows farmers to farm groundnuts and other small grains commercially and in return produce is purchased at the fairest prices in Zimbabwe.
