The company is majority Black women owned. Its leadership reflects a strong commitment to inclusive participation in the agricultural economy and the advancement of women in agribusiness. Zayiye Holdings focuses on practical agricultural services that improve productivity, strengthen supply chains, and expand access to modern farming practices.
The name Zayiye carries a deeper meaning. It reflects a family legacy rooted in resilience, discipline, and respect for the land.
02.
One of the founders grew up watching his grandfather work two demanding roles to support his family.By day he was a subsistence farmer. He cultivated small plots of land, produced food for the household, and protected the dignity that comes from feeding one’s family through honest work.
By night he worked as a security guard. Long hours and little rest were the price he paid to ensure that his children and grandchildren had opportunities he never had.
03.
Those early mornings in the fields and late nights on duty shaped a powerful lesson. Agriculture is not only about crops and livestock. It is about survival, responsibility, and generational progress.
Zayiye Holdings was built to honour that legacy.
The company’s logo, “A Legacy Story,” represents the continuation of that journey. It symbolises the transition from subsistence farming to modern agricultural services while preserving the values of hard work, stewardship of land, and community upliftment.
04.
Today, Zayiye Holdings provides agricultural support services designed to strengthen farming operations and unlock economic potential in rural communities. The company works with farmers, cooperatives, landowners, and agricultural partners to deliver practical solutions that improve production and long term sustainability.
Core areas of focus include:
* Agricultural advisory and farm support services
* Farm infrastructure development and improvement
* Agricultural supply chain support
* Emerging farmer support and development
* Sustainable land use and productivity improvement
Every project reflects the same principle that guided the founder’s grandfather. Respect the land. Work with discipline. Build something that the next generation can inherit and grow.
Zayiye Holdings is not only building a business. It is continuing a legacy that began with a man who farmed during the day, guarded buildings at night, and believed that the land could one day carry his family further.
This is Zayiye Holdings.
