Empowering Communities with Juncao technology
Vision
To cultivate a food-secure, environmentally resilient, and economically empowered Africa by equipping smallholder farmers with innovative technology called Juncao technology and sustainable agricultural solutions.
Mission
To revolutionize agriculture across Africa through the power of juncao technology, transforming juncao grass into nutritious mushrooms and sustainable animal feed and eco-friendly charcoal briquette while building livehoods by creating jobs, fighting malnutrition and preserving environment
About us
Philemon Farm Ltd is a trailblazing agribusiness based in Rwanda, leading the adoption of Juncao Technology—an innovative green solution originally developed in China. By utilizing a hybrid of 46 fast-growing, high-protein grass species known as Juncao grass, we’re tackling food insecurity, animal feed shortages, soil erosion, and environmental degradation, all at once.
We’ve trained over 500 farmers, distributed thousands of Juncao cuttings, and empowered communities across Rwanda and East Africa with practical skills in mushroom cultivation, animal feed production, and sustainable land use. From mountainous slopes to rural villages, we’re helping farmers grow more, feed better, and protect their land.
