SIA “Kaķi” is engaged in ostrich breeding and sale of ostrich meat. The company’s farm has more than 120 ostriches, 8 of them are breeders. The company provides a full ostrich growing cycle. Before the implementation of the project, the company purchased the main raw material – feed on several suppliers. During the implementation of the project, SIA “Kaķi” purchased an agricultural tractor with accessories, as a result of which it is now able to provide the farm with hay fodder and litter, cultivating the land it owns, thus reducing dependence on suppliers. As a result, the company achieved a reduction in production costs.
