KEY OBJECTIVES
HOW WE CONSULT, EVERY PROJECT.
Working around the special needs of our clients and offering flexible, innovative solutions.
Keeping abreast of new technologies and incorporating them into our offering.
Developing the skills and performance of all our employees.
Meeting client expectations in quality, timely completion and effective cost management.
Ensuring the safety and health of workers, communities and the environment.
CLM’S ROLE
Six ways we plug into your project.
CLM Agri Consultancy can support clients in several practical roles, depending on project requirements
ADVISOR
Providing practical agricultural development advice based on real field, mechanisation and contracting experience.
MECHANISATION SPECIALIST
Advising on equipment selection, fleet configuration, implement matching, maintenance planning, workshop requirements and realistic equipment operating costs.
PLANNER
Assisting with development planning, equipment planning, implementation sequencing, operational structures and project readiness.
PROJECT MANAGER
Assisting clients with project coordination, field execution planning, production monitoring, reporting, implementation control and problem solving.
IMPLEMENTOR
Supporting the practical execution of agricultural development projects, either through direct field involvement, operational management or implementation oversight.
OPERATIONAL SPECIALIST
Providing practical support around daily field operations, equipment utilisation, workshop systems, logistics, fleet performance and operational efficiency.
KEY DIFFERENTIATOR
The key differentiator is that CLM Agri Consultancy is not a desk-based consultancy.
The consultancy is supported by the real-world contracting, mechanisation, equipment maintenance and field implementation experience of CLM Mozambique Lda, together with the procurement and supply chain capability of CLM Distribution SA.
Most consultants estimate from the outside. CLM has operated tractors, managed fleets, rebuilt equipment, run workshops, dealt with logistics, sourced spares and delivered work in remote African field conditions. This gives CLM a practical understanding of what agricultural development really costs and what is required to implement it successfully.
