Jagoda Gems is a privately owned company, established in 1991 through the foreign investment program. Its goal is to render skills in the fields of cutting and polishing of gemstones, jewellery manufacturing and the grading and preparation of rough (mined) material for the international market. The owners first came to Zambia in 1984 and for 6 years worked with other companies developing their mines in the east and south of the country. While production methods in those days were labour intensive, Zambia became recognised as a new source of fine rough gemstones, most notably for aquamarine, emerald and amethyst. The marketing of these stones was however, very difficult given the lack of exposure to those other than the few buyers in the trade who ventured to these parts of Africa. Intent on resolving this hurdle, Jagoda has established a wide international market base, not only for its own production but also to assist other mining companies in Zambia find the much needed turn-over to develop their mines and further their marketing skills.

Kubu Crafts Ltd are manufacturers and retailers of high quality household, business, and lodge furniture & items, combined with the best of arts, crafts, and gifts from both Zambia and the region. The company was started by Lucy Renew and Roelf Bosman in 1997 with furnishing and decorating up-market lodges along the Upper Zambezi River, from a small workshop, employing three carpenters and two finishers. From 1997 to 2003, the business was run from a small workshop in Livingstone, using tools, which were inherited, from Lucy's father's extensive home woodwork workshop. With the opening of 3 stores in Livingstone, and the main store at Manda Hill Centre Lusaka, the workshop has now evolved into a very modern workshop with sophisticated woodworking machines for maximum quality and efficiency. Goods are transported by road weekly from Livingstone to Lusaka. With extensive and ongoing assistance from International volunteer organizations such as P.U.M, I.E.S.C and P.S.D.P, the quality and efficiency has been upgraded to International export standards. The workshop is based in Livingstone. We are working closely with the Danish Organization Danida and P.U.M., in a program aimed at bringing in expert instructors from the Netherlands, to train the lecturers at the technicons, who will in turn further train our staff at all levels of furniture manufacture at the use of all the new machinery introduced in the last year. As a result of the much-improved production, Kubu rafts are able to meet custom orders deadlines more accurately, and have a larger range of ready-to purchase stock on the floor. Kubu Crafts are export-ready, and participate in export programmes such as Aid to Artisans, and are developing a steady export client base. The expertise of one of IESC's timber technology advisors visits has been very instrumental in preparing us for the process of exporting timber furniture professionally. We work mostly with indigenous teak and rosewood, sourced from environmentally responsible and licensed lumber suppliers in the Southern Province region, which Kubu Crafts cut and dry themselves in solar kilns. Timber is treated to eliminate borer infestation before drying and production. Everything possible is done to ensure the stability and protection of furniture items, and clients are encouraged to understand that timber is ever-changing according to temperature and humidity levels. An extensive catalog is set up for viewing the entire product catalog on computer display screen at our stores. Knowledgeable and friendly staff will guide you through the catalog and assist you with ordering the furniture of your choice. Procurement officers of diplomatic missions have the opportunity to order furniture in advance of their destined arrival, through their copies of the catalog. Completion time for orders ranges from 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the type and quantity of items. Furniture carries a guarantee against product faults of manufacture. Kubu Crafts are committed to the introduction of new products, services and processes to gain competitive advantage and create value for all our clients.

This is to ensure consistency in the quality of the dairy products, This also covers production measures, which include periodic testing of incubated samples and sampling and testing of dairy products in the market. Milk processing The milk processing involves the following main activities: Collection and Testing Stage Raw milk is delivered in sanitary containers by the company trucks or hired trucks and by individual farmers to the cooling/ processing plants. After off-loading, samples are taken to the laboratory for testing, mainly for taste and odor, acidity etc. These include: Rasazurin test to determine microbiological load Lactometer, total solids and butterfat tests to determine adulteration of milk Organoleptic test to ensure the right smell, sight and taste Milk is then taken to processing plants for conversion into processed milk products. Pasteurization and Homogenization Stage Pasteurization is a very critical activity in the milk processing. It is during this process that all harmful organisms are destroyed, thus guaranteeing products safe for human consumption. Milk is heated at a temperature time combination of 72 degrees centigrade within 15-20 seconds. Homogenization is the process that involves mechanical breakdown under pressure of the fat globules to fine particles which do not conglomerate. The consumer is thus assured of a smooth and controlled fat content product. Pasteurized and homogenized milk is then processed into various milk products, including whole fresh milk. Packaging Stage The processed milk products are packaged to various target consumer specifications and requirements ready for marketing and sales. There is continuous review of the product mix to ensure satisfaction of all consumers. The product range has been carefully selected to meet the tastes and preferences of consumers in all market segments with plans to continuously evolve these products in tandem with changes in the market.
