Annex 1 Corporate and Project Objectives<br />

Annex 1.1 Corporate Objectives<br />

Overview:<br />

Chobe Agrivision is part of an investment company (the “Fund”) whose vision is to<br />

create world-class farming operations and integrated businesses across the agricultural<br />

value chain, and to leave a legacy of responsible commercial agricultural practices in<br />

the region. The company’s goals for the project include:<br />

- Achieving economies of scale through the creation of service businesses<br />

along the value chain;<br />

- Focusing on exporting food cross-border within Africa, building<br />

infrastructure throughout the region, and providing skill transfer at the<br />

local level;<br />

- Acquiring brown field sites and significantly boost productivity,<br />

increasing production through a combination of farming techniques<br />

(improving soil quality through conservation tillage and crop rotation) and<br />

irrigation methods;<br />

- Creating jobs and improving conditions for the farming workforce and<br />

their families;<br />

- Offering a source of training within communities through outreach<br />

programmes and formal education, cultivating next generation of farm<br />

management from within the local communities;<br />

- Providing small-scale farmers routes to market and access to<br />

infrastructure such as storage and milling.<br />

<strong>Environmental</strong>, Social Responsibility and <strong>Environmental</strong> Risk Management<br />

Approach<br />

The Fund shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that the following policies and<br />

guidelines are enforced.<br />

The Fund’s investments will strive to enhance economic development and have a<br />

positive impact on social advancement in the following manner:<br />

(i) by fostering broad-based citizen economic empowerment in host countries<br />

beginning with indirect empowerment through employment, skill<br />

development, technology transfer and socio-economic capacity building.<br />

This is intended ultimately to lead to direct empowerment through equity<br />

ownership and management representation.<br />

62


(ii) by adopting the IFC’s Exclusion List for future investments. The IFC<br />

Exclusion List defines the types of projects that the IFC will not finance.<br />

The Fund shall not invest in the following:<br />

- Production or trade in any product or activity deemed illegal under host<br />

country laws or regulations or international conventions and<br />

agreements, or subject to international bans, such as pharmaceuticals,<br />

pesticides/herbicides, ozone depleting substances, PCBs, wildlife or<br />

products regulated under the Convention on International Trade in<br />

Endangered Species (CITES).<br />

- Production or trade in weapons and munitions.<br />

- Production or trade in alcoholic beverages (excluding beer and wine).<br />

- Production or trade in tobacco.<br />

- Gambling, casinos and equivalent enterprises.<br />

- Production or trade in radioactive materials. This does not apply to the<br />

purchase of medical equipment, quality control (measurement)<br />

equipment and any equipment where IFC considers the radioactive<br />

source to be trivial and/or adequately shielded.<br />

- Production or trade in unbonded asbestos fibres. This does not apply to<br />

purchase and use of bonded asbestos cement sheeting where the<br />

asbestos content is less than 20 percent.<br />

- Drift net fishing in the marine environment using nets in excess of 2.5<br />

km in length.<br />

- Production or activities involving harmful or exploitative forms of<br />

forced labour/harmful child labour.<br />

- Commercial logging operations for use in primary tropical moist forest.<br />

- Production or trade in wood or other forestry products other than from<br />

sustainably managed forests.<br />

- Production or activities that impinge on the lands owned, or claimed<br />

under adjudication, by indigenous peoples, without full documented<br />

consent of such peoples.<br />

A reasonableness test will be applied when the activities of the project would have a<br />

significant development impact but circumstances of the country require adjustment<br />

to the Exclusion List.<br />

The Fund shall use reasonable efforts to uphold the investment process to the same or<br />

equivalent standards as those set forth in the IFC, CDC, and DEG <strong>Environmental</strong>,<br />

Health and Safety guidelines. All projects in which the Fund invests shall to adhere to<br />

the Fund’s framework.<br />

63


<strong>Environmental</strong> Risk Management Policy<br />

The Fund shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that Investments comply with local<br />

and international environmental guidelines in addition to the aforementioned<br />

guidelines.<br />

The Fund is an agribusiness and food production fund which involves the use of<br />

agricultural chemicals and fertilisers. These products are registered and have been<br />

approved for use for annual crop production by the Ministry of Agriculture in the<br />

countries in which the Fund intends to operate. The Fund shall comply with the<br />

guidelines of the local Ministry of Agriculture or the appropriate regulatory body and<br />

be subject to the registration process for such chemicals to be used in this field. For<br />

example, the nature of crop production requires the use of fossil fuel for agricultural<br />

equipment; however such fuel will be used and stored in a manner that is compliant<br />

with local guidelines. Where local guidelines do not exist, the Fund shall adopt good<br />

international industry practice as recommended in the IFC <strong>Environmental</strong>, Health,<br />

and Safety Guidelines for Annual Crop Production. A copy of the guideline shall be<br />

made available to the management of the Fund’s subsidiaries to ensure compliance.<br />

The Fund’s primary produce shall be processed and used largely in the domestic<br />

footprint of SADC. The Fund shall adopt the IFC <strong>Environmental</strong>, Health, and Safety<br />

Guidelines for Food and Beverage Processing. The Fund intends to adopt best<br />

practice in managing the environmental issues in food processing such as solid waste,<br />

wastewater, energy consumption and emissions to air. The Agricultural Advisor’s<br />

management are pioneers in zero tillage practices and intend to employ and expand<br />

the use of conservation tillage practices to minimise the impact on global warming,<br />

and reduce carbon emissions.<br />

The Fund’s employment policy shall strictly adhere to the guidelines established by<br />

the Ministry of Agriculture of host country. There is also a broad based outline by the<br />

Ministry of Labour that covers all aspects of employment under the ministry of<br />

Agriculture. Where such guidelines do not exist in other countries, the Fund shall<br />

adopt the IFC <strong>Environmental</strong>, Health and Safety General Guidelines.<br />

Letter of Intent - Cropit Farming, Mkushi.<br />

Dear Sir,<br />

65<br />

5th November, 2010<br />

We are proposing further developments in two phases on Whispering Hope Farm and<br />

Parklands Farm (adjoining properties on the right bank of the Munshiwemba River in<br />

Mkushi District), as described below.<br />

Phasing<br />

Phase 1 is proposed for immediate development.<br />

Phase 2 is proposed for mid-20ll.<br />

Proposed Developments<br />

1. Proposed new irrigation holding dam of approximately 900,000m 3 with an<br />

underground pipeline to supply it from the Masebe Dam of approximately l, 000 m,<br />

serviced by a 3l5 kVa transformer. This pump house will also service the two<br />

proposed centre pivots for stage 1 of 70ha and 80 ha respectively. A 50 kVa feeder<br />

transformer for these two pivots is proposed. 2,300m of underground mainline will<br />

service these two pivots.<br />

2. Proposed stage 2 development will be four centre pivots, two of 40ha and two of<br />

60ha. These will be serviced by 2,7s0m of underground main line from the new<br />

irrigation holding dam described above. There will be a 3l5 kVa transformer at the<br />

base of the said dam to service the pumps to these centre pivots. A 200 kVa feeder<br />

transformer will service t he pivots a well as an inline booster pump.<br />

3. Parklands - one extra 30ha pivot is proposed to complete the irrigation<br />

development on this farm.<br />

Water Rights<br />

The proposed new centre pivot irrigation will utilise existing water rights from the<br />

Masebe Dam, provide through membership of the Munshiwemba River Project<br />

consortium that was subject to a full EIA in 2005.


Land Clearing:<br />

The following additional woodland clearance is anticipated to provide for new centre<br />

pivots:<br />

Phase 1 (Whispering Hope Farm), approximately 80 ha of additional clearing to<br />

provide for the new 70 ha and 80 ha pivots<br />

Phase 2 (Whispering Hope Farm), approximately 85 ha for the two new 60ha and two<br />

40ha pivots<br />

Phase 2 (Parklands Farm), approximately 15 ha of clearing to accommodate the<br />

additional 30ha pivot.<br />

Roads:<br />

Farm roads will need to be either relocated and/or constructed to accommodate the<br />

new developments (New roads to and around the new centre pivots will be required)<br />

Housing<br />

A number of new houses are proposed in the vicinity of the current homestead/farm<br />

yard on Whispering Hope for management. The on-going process of replacing pole<br />

and thatch houses labour housing with new brick houses and ventilated pit latrines<br />

will be continued without significant disruption to the woodland cover.<br />

Boreholes:<br />

Two boreholes are proposed for Whispering Hope to supplement existing domestic<br />

supplies.<br />

We would appreciate your consideration of the above and advise on the level of<br />

environmentalassessment required.<br />

Yours faithfully,<br />

Annex 2 <strong>Environmental</strong> <strong>Impact</strong> Definitions<br />

Nature of impact – positive or negative, direct or indirect<br />

Duration<br />

Intensity<br />

Severity<br />

Temporary – very transient<br />

Short term – only during the construction phase and<br />

mitigated or disappears during that phase<br />

Medium term – only lasting for the construction phase<br />

Long term – impacts expending beyond the construction<br />

phase, but progressively mitigated, or removed<br />

by natural processes<br />

Permanent – impacts that will change the environment, or<br />

environmental processes on a permanent basis<br />

Low - impact on the environment does not affect<br />

natural processes in a significant way<br />

Moderate - the environment is affected, but environmental<br />

processes continue in a modified way<br />

High - impact changes environmental processes<br />

temporarily or permanently<br />

Spatial extent<br />

Project site - impacts limited to all, or part of the project<br />

development area<br />

Local area - impacts affecting areas outside he immediate<br />

development area<br />

Regional - impacts reaching well beyond the immediate<br />

zone of the project<br />

Probability<br />

Uncertain - there is insufficient information to determine a<br />

probability, but the uncertainty principle<br />

increases the significance of the impact<br />

Improbable - the impact is unlikely to occur<br />

Probable - the impact is likely to happen and warrants<br />

mitigating actions<br />

Certain - the impact will be experienced and only<br />

mitigating actions can alleviate it.<br />

69


Significance<br />

Negligible - impact likely to be insignificant and no<br />

mitigating actions are required<br />

Low - impact does not require revision on the<br />

project design, but may warrant mitigation<br />

Moderate - impacts are expected on the environment<br />

and/or livelihoods and mitigation is required to<br />

minimise negative influences, or to maximise<br />

positive outcomes<br />

High - significant negative impacts are expected and<br />

unless mitigating actions are possible to reduce<br />

the impacts, the project should be rejected or<br />

significantly re-designed.<br />
