OSAC is an integrated, impact-driven agriculture ecosystem in one of the world's fastest-growing food markets — combining real-world infrastructure with a scalable, technology-enabled model.
Agriculture is the backbone of Tanzania's economy and a major share of its GDP, with strong growth and clear government priority behind it. East Africa is one of the fastest-growing food markets in the world, with rising domestic demand and growing export pull from the Gulf and beyond.
Every structural gap — counterfeit inputs, missing advice, no irrigation, weak market access, no credit — is a OSAC service. The problems farmers face and the services OSAC sells are the same thing: a business where doing good and earning revenue are the same motion.
A franchise network plus a digital platform means reach grows without cost growing at the same pace. The model is proven globally — India's DeHaat reached over 10,000 franchise centres serving 1.5 million farmers on exactly this logic — and remains largely untapped in East Africa.
OSAC pairs a central supply hub and a growing network of community franchise centres with a mobile platform that ties everything together. Farmers get one trusted relationship; franchise operators get a complete business system; and the company earns across multiple services that reinforce each other.

The hardest lesson from comparable franchise models elsewhere in East Africa: an individual centre can reach profitability, but the central hub often can't — a thin margin on inputs alone doesn't cover hub-level logistics, training and support costs. OSAC is structured to avoid that trap: the hub earns from day one through franchise fees, offtake commission, and credit/insurance brokerage — not input margin alone.
OSAC is built so that the right capital funds the right part of the business — which is why we work with impact funders and commercial investors alike.
Technology development, farmer training and the early franchise pilots. This is where development-finance and foundation partners create lasting infrastructure and measurable impact.
Financing that flows out as verified inputs to farmers and returns through the harvest. Structured for impact lenders and development-finance institutions seeking return alongside reach.
Storage and warehousing, irrigation and the collection points that let OSAC aggregate produce at scale — including for export into Gulf food-security supply chains. Hard infrastructure with clear, growing demand behind it.
Expands the franchise network and the technology platform across regions. This is where mission-aligned venture and growth investors share in the value the network creates as it grows.
You don't have to fit every layer. Tell us where you want to play, and we'll show you exactly how that part of the business works.
Proves the model without dilution — the foundation for everything that follows.
Scales the input-credit engine as trust in the model is earned.
Comes only once a repeatable, proven node exists — capital for scaling, not for starting.
OSAC is structured for ESG and development-finance alignment — making it a natural fit for impact funds and mission-driven capital.
A different kind of opportunity. If you're an established agricultural producer — in Germany, Turkey, the Gulf, or anywhere with the know-how and ambition to expand — East Africa offers what your home market may not: abundant fertile land, year-round growing conditions, competitive labour, and direct access to both fast-growing local markets and Gulf food-security demand.
Rather than navigating land, labour, inputs and logistics alone in an unfamiliar country, you partner with an operator already established locally. You bring the production expertise and capital; OSAC provides the foundation to make it work.
For producers focused on export, this is a direct route into the Gulf market, where countries importing the large majority of their food are actively seeking reliable African supply partners. You bring the production expertise and capital; OSAC provides the local foundation to make it work.
OSAC combines a strong commercial model with credible partners — a founding NGO already trusted on the ground, and leading agricultural universities underwriting our agronomy. The value proposition stands on its own; the partners accelerate execution.
Whether you're an impact funder, a growth investor, or an agricultural producer looking to expand into East Africa, we'll share the detailed business plan, model and financials directly with qualified, interested partners.
