About Us
The Problem
Problem solving through action.
Verticroft went through many challenges to build the largest sustainable sheep farm in the GCC,
and whilst we produce a lot of our own animals feed hydroponically we still require other feedstuffs to feed our livestock.
This presented a huge challenge due to no arable land, high cost, and quality level of animal feed in the GCC.
This took us on a 12-month journey to set up our own integrated supply chain for other feedstuff while at the same time opening up a huge commercial opportunity.
The Opportunity was in the Problem!
GCC Animal Feed Market Problems
Zero local supply
Market price too high
The quality of the animal feed is too low
Constant price fluctuations
No contractable supply
The GCC due its harsh and arid climate
and reliance on imports has some of the
highest forage prices in the world.
A lack of available and affordable animal feed.
The GCC imports 95% of all animal feed, this includes concentrates, pellets and forages.The cost of freight and customs clearing along is around 180 USD per tonne. This makes the freight more expensive than the product being shipped.
Not only is the feed being imported extremely it is expensive, it is also misadvertised to farmers with no transparency or factual data to support viable livestock breeding.
98% of Livestock Forage sent for Analysis in the UAE
came back significantly lower in key constituents than
advertised.
- Feed degrades in the sun
- Most feed is incorrectly stored
- Feed is sourced from cheap sources and sold for high prices
The results of lab testing in the UAE concluded that on average forage contains on average 59% less key constituents than adverised.
