Livestock Wealth

Overview

Livestock Wealth is a South African-based crowdfunding platform that connects investors with farmers seeking funding by using cattle as a form of investment. Investors can purchase assets such as grass-fed beef cattle, pregnant cows, calves, or shared ownership of calves. The company is headquartered in Johannesburg and has a portfolio of farms in the Free State and KwaZulu-Natal provinces. Investors can access the investment platform through a mobile app utilizing 5G and AI technology developed in conjunction with Chinese mobile phone company Huawei. The company's investment strategy focuses on providing funding to farmers for cattle farming, allowing investors to own cattle on organic beef farms and share in the profits of the farm. Livestock Wealth has over 70 partner farmers around South Africa and has been globally recognized for innovation, with investors from over five continents. The company has been featured on various media platforms, including Carte Blanche, BBC, CNN, SABC, TEDx, and Times Live. In January 2024, the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) issued a warning about Livestock Wealth, stating that the company was not authorized to render financial services under the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act. However, after a two-year investigation, the FSCA cleared Livestock Wealth of any wrongdoing in January 2026. The company is regulated as a registered agricultural producer agent with the Agriculture Producer Agents’ Council and is a registered credit provider with the National Credit Regulator. Livestock Wealth continues to operate, focusing on connecting investors with farmers and providing opportunities to invest in agricultural assets, particularly cattle, in South Africa.
