About Insansu Venture
Founded on 13 May 2024 by Mubanga Mwansa, Insansu Venture is a Zambian-owned agribusiness and food-processing company positioned as an integrated agribusiness — developing sustainable value chains through climate-smart production, aggregation, agro-processing, value addition and market development.
Our focus
Much of Zambia's agricultural investment overlooks the cereals, legumes and horticultural crops that smallholder communities already know how to grow well. Insansu Venture starts from the opposite premise: that indigenous crops, farmed with climate-smart methods and processed into nutritious, market-ready products, are a genuine economic opportunity.
We work across indigenous cereals and legumes, horticulture, and nutritious food products — building smallholder opportunities at each stage rather than treating farmers as a single input at the start of the chain.
Our model
Rather than operating as a single-purpose trader or processor, Insansu is structured to hold several links of the value chain together: supporting production on the ground, aggregating produce at scale, processing it into finished goods, and developing markets for the result.
That integration is what lets more of the value generated by a crop stay within the communities and provinces where it was grown.
Insansu farms at Chipongwe, Kafue, and is establishing a presence in Luapula and Northern Provinces, with an aggregation and processing centre coming soon in Kawambwa.

What guides us
Insansu is built and led from within Zambia, working directly with the smallholder communities whose crops and knowledge underpin the business.
Every stage of production is chosen and designed for resilience against a changing climate, not adapted after the fact.
By integrating aggregation, processing and market development, more of the value created by a crop remains in the province where it was grown.
