ABOUT US
Our Story
Yieldingtree Pullet Rearers Ltd. was incorporated in 1977 by the founders, Mr. and Mrs. Bland Snr. The company was the first to sell Point-of-Lay Pullets in Zambia and to this day remains one of the largest suppliers of pullets to the Zambian market.
The company ceased to trade in 1988 when the founders moved to the UK to retire. Their eldest son, Duncan Bland (current Managing Director) who had been out of Zambia since 1979, returned to Zambia in 1994 having gained degrees in both Business Administration and Accounting and having gained valuable work experience in both the USA and the UK. After working for two years as the Group Chief Accountant for a large Agri-business in Lusaka, he decided to leave employment and re-start “Yieldingtree Pullet Rearers Ltd.” in 1996. The company began with a capacity of rearing 20,000 pullets per annum and has since grown to its current capacity of 260,000 per annum.
In 1998, the company began making all its own feed with the help of a nutritionist and now has ventured into Animal Feed manufacturing for the domestic market as well as continuing to rear Point-of-Lay Pullets.

Our Clients
"I have been dealing with Yieldingtree Pullet Rearers Ltd. for the past 9 years and have come to trust their Point-of-Lay Pullets. Through Yieldingtree, I have come to learn the benefits of keeping laying hens as an income generating exercise. Yieldingtree is very supportive to its customers in terms of training and giving professional advice and gives them all the information they need. I have not come across any farmer support like Yieldingtree gives its customers. I would recommend all prospective layer farmers to them"
“Yieldingtree has great customer support with flexible payment terms which makes doing business with them easy and smooth. The quality of their Point-of-Lay Pullets is very good and they provide vaccination records and assist with production monitoring tools. The team is professional and goes the extra mile when need arises in order to deliver a quality product. I would recommend them unreservedly”.
“When I decided to egg production business, I was referred to different suppliers, but I chose Yieldingtree Pullet Rearers Ltd. I feel I made the right decision because not only did they supply me with the birds, they also were able to supply me with the Layer Feeds. They gave me all the information I needed to ensure I could manage them to the right standard to ensure I was able to achieve the required production. The support services they provided have been amazing and it has been 4 years now since I have been buying from them and they still remain the best. Thank you Yieldingtree!”.
“Having raised Layers from Day Old Chicks for more than 25 years I was finding the day to day management challenging and experienced increased losses of up to 20%. In 2018 we decided to purchase our first 1,000 Point-of-Lay Pullets from Yieldingtree and have not looked back. The birds travel a distance of 400 kilometres to our farm but arrive in perfect condition and losses to date have been less than 5% over each laying period. The Yieldingtree vaccination programme has proved highly effective with no outbreaks of disease and any queries related to the health of the birds are answered swiftly by the Managing Director (Mr. Bland) and his team. Compared to rearing layers from day old, the purchase and management of Point-of-Lay Pullets has proved relatively stress free and I would recommend Yieldingtree as a reliable supplier”.
