Pilot program has been operational for about 4 months now. Customer base grew about 4 times during that period. Investment is needed to improve technological processes and productivity as well as amount of product produced monthly.

It is mostly feed for cows during the milking process - local term "Lechero". However, we also produce feed for pigs (15 kilos and up, NOT for small piglets) and for calf. I personally have a 165 acre farm with 40 milk cows and been using new feed for the last 4 months since I have started the pilot. Overall we have an average increase in milk production at about 20%. Our price is somewhat better than the most of existing brands - we sell at 500 peso per sac, while most of local brands are going between 550 (pretty ****ty ones) to 675. (One sac = 100 pounds of feed).

I am not anxious to disclose too many details over such open podium as this one, so I'd prefer to keep most of the information for qualified listeners only. However, this is something very real and could be looked at, touched and one could interview the existing customers who've been using new feed for the last 2 - 4 months.

Are you looking for potential investors or what?
Yes, exactly. It is somewhat a complex process and I need to perfect the production line. Currently I produce 400 sacs/per month, can't satisfy all existing demand, need to go to about 2,500 sacs/month.

You cannot receive or send PMs until you've been posting for awhile.  

Also of relevance may be the fact that the OP has only done 6 posts in 3 years and the likelyhood that he is still reading this is quite slim, I would assume.
