Our New Investment: Where Capital Meets Purpose in Zambia

This is where Oxano Capital’s investment journey begins, where capital meets purpose. 

We are proud to announce our new investment in Zamgoat Group (Zamgoat Products Ltd), a livestock and meat processing company headquartered in Lusaka, Zambia. This marks a significant milestone in our mission to support high-potential, impact-driven businesses across Africa. 

Founded in July 2012, Zamgoat was established to transform the goat value chain, taking goat meat from traditional, informal markets into a commercial, sustainable, and value-added industry. During our visit to Zambia, we saw firsthand the country’s immense agribusiness potential. Zamgoat stood out as a company we had been tracking for some time, impressing us with its steady growth, meaningful impact, and clear vision. Investing in Zamgoat was a natural step, allowing us to become an active partner in the company’s journey to create lasting value for farmers, communities, and the wider economy. 

Transforming the Goat Value Chain 

Zamgoat operates in the livestock and meat processing sector with a mission to sustainably transform the goat value chain. The company aggregates goats from smallholder farmers, processes value-added meat products, and distributes them through retail outlets, food service channels, and consumer brands. By doing so, Zamgoat responds to growing demand while improving market access for farmers and creating a more efficient and commercialised sector. 

Beyond Zambia, Zamgoat is strategically positioned to meet rising regional demand in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola, and Rwanda. Its growth strategy also includes unlocking Middle East exports, initially via Kenya, supplying goat meat from Nairobi to these markets with a targeted offtake of at least 50 tons per month.

Why Zamgoat 

Zamgoat stands out as a compelling investment because of its strong fundamentals, scalable business model, and clear impact pathway. Founder Paul Nyambe brings a clear vision, ambition, and impact-driven mindset that aligns closely with Oxano Capital’s mission. The company already has a solid operational foundation, effective data capture, constructive government relationships, and a committed management team focused on growth, while continuing to enhance its automation, governance, and administrative systems. With a reliable supplier network, a growing customer base, and a recognizable brand, Zamgoat not only drives business growth but also contributes to income generation, job creation, and rural economic resilience. 

The Future Ahead 

With Oxano Capital’s investment, Zamgoat is poised to enhance operational capacity, expand market reach, and accelerate growth. Backed by strong leadership, scalable demand, and clear execution opportunities, the company is well-positioned to deliver both financial returns and meaningful social impact. Looking forward, we are excited to support Zamgoat’s journey, contributing to local economic development through job creation and improved access to quality goat meat across Zambia and neighbouring markets. This investment reflects our guiding principle, Auxano, meaning “to cause growth,” by fostering businesses that generate lasting value for individuals, communities, and local economies.
