Farm Operations Supervisor (Crop & Animal-Feed Production)

Organization: Davinton Holdings Company Limited

INTEGRITY | GROWTH | EXCELLENCE

Duty / Project Station: Kahama, Tanzania

Application Deadline: 31 December 2026

Background

Davinton Holdings Company Limited invites applications from qualified, experienced and practical professionals to support its sisal plantation project at Mapojoni, Tanga, and its integrated mixed farming project at Kahama, Tanzania.

The integrated farm will comprise cattle, goats, poultry and pigs, supported by crop cultivation, pasture, grazing and fodder production.

Davinton Holdings seeks a practical and organised Farm Operations Supervisor to manage crop cultivation and the production of crops and feed materials for the farm’s livestock.

The role will focus particularly on maize cultivation and other suitable animal-feed crops. It is a crop-production operations role and is not the general supervisor of the livestock units.

Role boundary

The Integrated Mixed Farming Specialist leads overall technical planning and coordination of the integrated farm, including livestock production systems and pasture/fodder strategy.

The Farm Operations Supervisor is responsible for executing crop cultivation and animal-feed crop production.

Cattle & Goat, Poultry and Pig Unit Supervisors manage daily operations in their own units.

Key responsibilities

Implement crop-production plans and targets developed under the technical direction of the Integrated Mixed Farming Specialist.

Coordinate land preparation, ploughing, harrowing, planting, weeding, fertiliser application, crop protection and other field activities.

Manage maize cultivation and other crops intended for livestock feed, taking account of the farm’s feed requirements and seasonal conditions.

Coordinate harvesting, field handling, drying, processing or preparation, and delivery of harvested feed materials for storage or use.

Supervise crop workers and allocate daily field duties according to the approved work plan.

Monitor crop growth, field conditions, input use, labour, yields and production costs; maintain accurate crop-operation records.

Coordinate with the Integrated Mixed Farming Specialist and livestock unit supervisors on crop plans, expected feed volumes and delivery timing.

Report crop-production progress, challenges, input requirements, yields and corrective actions to the Integrated Mixed Farming Specialist and company management.

Ensure safe use and proper care of farm tools, machinery and crop-production equipment; report major maintenance requirements.

Qualifications and experience

Diploma or degree in Agronomy, Crop Science, Agriculture, General Agriculture or a related field.

Practical experience in crop cultivation, preferably maize and other crops used for animal feed.

Knowledge of land preparation, planting, crop maintenance, harvesting and post-harvest handling.

Experience supervising field workers and managing agricultural operations.

Ability to maintain crop records, monitor input use and report yields and field performance.

Good organisation, communication, planning and problem-solving skills.

General employment & operating arrangements

Project management: Overall Project Manager responsibilities will be handled internally by company management. No separate Project Manager vacancy is being advertised.

Technical leadership: The Integrated Mixed Farming Specialist provides overall technical leadership, farm planning and coordination of the integrated farm, including livestock production systems and pasture/fodder strategy.

Crop and animal-feed production: The Farm Operations Supervisor manages implementation of crop cultivation, particularly maize and other crops intended for livestock feed, in line with technical plans and targets.

Feed and fodder: No separate Animal Feed & Fodder Officer is being recruited initially. Technical pasture and fodder planning is coordinated by the Integrated Mixed Farming Specialist; crop cultivation and feed-crop production are implemented by the Farm Operations Supervisor.
