A cooperative-owned ecosystem where members own digital plots of productive farmland, track growth via IoT and satellite, and receive yield-linked surplus distributions. Not crowdfarming. The correction.

Plotverse™ Land Active
Founded on April 19, 2022, by Oscar Monama and Mapheu (Judas) Pule, Pheko PM Group did not start with software — it started with real products, indigenous knowledge, and a real community need.
We are multi-award winners including the Green Economy Award 2024 (1st Prize) and Hollywood Foundation Bambelela Gauteng (1st Prize). We are building the Plotverse™ — a new category of cooperative agricultural ownership, not crowdfarming.

The Plotverse™ platform — IoT-powered plot tracking
Full ecosystem from cultivation to market
South Africa faces a broken value chain where farmers can't farm, manufacturers can't source, and communities can't access affordable wellness — while vacant land rots and capital sits idle.
Communities lack accessible, culturally relevant health and nutrition solutions. Processed food is unaffordable; indigenous plants are ignored despite proven efficacy.
Smallholder farmers lack capital, compliance support, and reliable market access. Millions of hectares sit idle across SA with no investment.
Ordinary South Africans are excluded from agricultural wealth creation. Stokvels move R50B+ annually but don't reach agriculture.
Pheko's big shift — from indigenous wellness products to a vertically integrated biotech + agri-tech business. Members own digital plots through cooperative membership starting at R500. Track crop progress via real-time IoT dashboards. Harvest into live markets. Share returns as yield-linked patronage surplus distributions. Not investors. Not depositors. Members. Owners.

Value Chain
Members own digital plots through cooperative membership — not investors, not depositors. Yield-linked patronage surplus distributions. Transparent. Verifiable. Democratic.
Entry-level plot ownership. R4,300/yr estimated return. 6–12 month cycle. 10% platform fee. Perfect for first-time members.
Standard plot ownership. R8,600/yr estimated return. 12–18 month cycle. 8% platform fee. For committed members.
Growth plot ownership. R17,000/yr estimated return. 18–36 month cycle. 6% platform fee. For wealth builders.
Premium plot ownership. R85,000/yr estimated return. 36–60 month cycle. 4% platform fee. For generational wealth.
Pheko operates 30 hectares across two active sites with IoT sensors, irrigation systems, and machinery deployed. Crops are sold into Joburg Market, Mpumalanga Market, and through Green Tree as accredited agents — offtake agreements in place.
Klipvoor, North West — Primary Production Hub
Garalenkwane Village — Cooperative Model
Sites Targeted by 2027
Sites Targeted by Year 5
The old square-meter model was unsustainable — R25 fees couldn't cover admin costs. The Cooperative Share Unit (CSU) model is built to last: higher minimums, real returns, and a fee structure that covers onboarding while delivering value.
R25 fee < admin cost. Cannot sustain operations.
R250 fee covers onboarding. Built to scale.

ROI Every Year
A competitive moat built on authenticity, indigenous IP, cooperative governance, and vertical integration. We don't do crowdfarming. We build the Plotverse™.
R500 minimum — township capital flows to rural farms. Members are owners, not investors. The 'small person' finally accesses agriculture.
10ha Klipvoor + 20ha Garalenkwane operational now. 50 sites by 2027. 500 sites by Year 5.
SABS tested Moringa, Artemisia, Sea Moss — farm to shelf, not farm to waste.
Affordable raw materials through collaboration over competition — reliable supply chain for processors.
IoT dashboards + satellite imagery + smart contracts — real-time visibility, no middlemen, no opacity.
Member → Farm → Processing → Market → Surplus → Reinvest. Every rand circulates within the ecosystem.
The Plotverse™ is built on proactive compliance — not reactive workarounds. From cooperative foundation to CIS Manager license, a clear, cost-effective path.
Cooperative registration, FICA, NASASA, Constitution. CIPC trademark for Plotverse™. 2 sites live. 50–100 members. Budget: R50K–100K.

Pheko is pre-seed today. The Plotverse™ shows a clear path to profitability and global scale — from 500 members to 75,000, and from $120K to $15M annual revenue. The regulatory gap is our moat.
500 Members | $120K Revenue | 45% Margin
12,000 Members | $2.5M Revenue | 58% Margin
75,000 Members | $15M Revenue | 65% Margin
From -$80K to $6.5M by Year 5
We are not asking you to fund a dream. We are asking you to fund a proven model with a compliant structure that is ready to scale across Africa and beyond. We don't do crowdfarming. We build the Plotverse™.
