Kivu Holdings is a Commercial and Industrial Corporation whose corporate headquarters are in Johannesburg, South Africa. Founded by Dr. Ahmed Padia Binkatabana, a citizen of the Congolese Diaspora; Kivu Holdings is the result of an extensive research on developmental politics, economic and social liberation for an Africa of the “outstretched hand” policy. The Company works towards enhancing and mo
dernization of agricultural production. The rural sector is primarily the pillar to the development of associative farmers’ movements which will be a priority in fighting poverty and misery of the population for a sustainable and self-reliant development. This action is intended primarily for rural and urban foundation groups, NGOs, cooperatives and farmers' associations ... The objective is to contribute to the gradual establishment of a politically, economically and culturally strong farmer’s movement. This commercial and industrial company focusing on improving agriculture and processing of agricultural supplies into consumable commodities seeks the participation of all social groups in projects aimed at economic growth, self- establishment and community development. Having understood that no nation can become a real economic force without Agriculture, Kivu Holdings, because of its social responsibility, advocates for an Africa conscious of food self-sufficiency, starting from the former Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
