The difference

Built for Zambia, by people who've been there.

Generic business planners assume US wages, US feed prices, and US supermarket pricing. Ichuma doesn't. Every number in every module reflects what things actually cost in Lusaka, Kitwe, Ndola, Livingstone.

  • Quantum & Novatek feed data — updated for 2025 prices
  • Local wages, provincial variation, family-labour scenarios
  • Kwacha throughout — no exchange-rate guesswork
  • Homestead vs. commercial pathways for every venture
  • Free forever plan for solo entrepreneurs

"I was about to sink my savings into broilers based on YouTube maths. Modelled it in Ichuma first — the numbers were nothing like what those videos promised. Ended up going with village chickens instead. My best decision this year."
