Agriculture
Fish
A fish farm was established in 2007 to provide Mercy International’s children with a well- balanced diet. Fish farming is a simple, economical way to provide an ongoing high protein diet which helps to alleviate malnutrition. Under a controlled environment free from industrial contaminates, thousands of fish can be produced in a short period of time.
Cattle
The aim of the cattle project is to raise cattle for the market and provide funds for the continued development of the farm and long term sustainability of Mercy International.
Pigs
Plans are underway to upgrade and increase the piggery to become self-sufficient in providing pork for Mercy International’s children and schools.
Vegetables
Several acres of land is being used to grow vegetables for Mercy International’s children.
Mushrooms
To provide an additional supply of protein and fibre to Mercy International’s children’s diet.
Fruit Trees
Several acres are being used to grow fruit trees. The fruit trees that have been planted include favourites such as mango, banana, paw-paw, lime, Asian guava and coconuts. Many are already producing health-giving fruit for the children.
