Overview

CROSSCORN (Pty) Ltd is an agricultural company based in Botswana, founded in 2013. It began as a seed distributor but has since evolved into Botswana’s only producer of seeds. The company specializes in producing and supplying agricultural inputs, particularly seeds for crops such as maize, sorghum, and cowpeas. It also engages in fertilizer-related activities and serves both local and regional markets through import and export operations.

Ownership and Structure

CROSSCORN is registered as a private limited liability company in Botswana. It was previously owned by Scipion Active Trading Fund, an investment entity registered in the Cayman Islands. In 2022, MHMK Capital Botswana Ltd acquired 100% ownership of CROSSCORN.

The company’s management team includes professionals from Botswana, South Africa, and the United States, reflecting its regional and international outlook. Notably, Jacobus Christiaan Campher (often referred to as Cobus Campher) serves in a key leadership role, and other directors include Tebogo Robert Motingwa and Christopher Leeds Rogers.

Operations and Market Presence

CROSSCORN operates from its production site in Mmamashia, Botswana. It focuses on developing high-quality seed varieties suited to the country’s climate and soil conditions. The company imports agricultural inputs—mainly from South Africa—and exports some of its products to neighboring markets.

By transitioning from a distributor to a full-scale producer, CROSSCORN has positioned itself as a significant contributor to Botswana’s agricultural development and food security goals.

Strategic Developments

A major milestone in CROSSCORN’s growth was the 2022 acquisition by MHMK Capital Botswana. This move was approved by Botswana’s Competition and Consumer Authority and was part of a strategy to strengthen the company’s financial base and expand production capacity.

CROSSCORN continues to focus on improving local seed production, enhancing agricultural self-sufficiency, and supporting farmers with quality inputs and technical expertise.
