Integrating crocodile farming with Aquaculture

In 1985, Kalimba Farm was established as the pioneer in combining crocodile farming with aquaculture. Currently, the farm incubates, hatches and raises crocodiles on-site, providing high-end crocodile products such as meat, oil and skin to both local and international markets. The Zambia Crocodile Farmers Association has a close working relationship with Kalimba. A crocodile has a life cycle of about 5 years on the farm. We incubate, hatch and raise the crocodiles on site. There is no waste from the production of crocodiles as their skin, meat and even their fat are used. We pride ourselves on completing the entire cycle from birth to final products.
