About Us
A STORY AS UNIQUE AS OUR PRODUCTS
Cape Karoo International (CKI), the result of a merger between Klein Karoo International and Mosstrich, is the world’s leading producer of ostrich leather, feathers, and meat. Our rich history stretches back to the 1860’s when the commercial farming of ostriches originated in the Klein Karoo. Today, CKI sustains thousands of jobs across various farms, two state-of-the-art tanneries, four ostrich and game abattoirs, and a feather processing facility. This new innovative company not only offers impeccable service and first-rate products, but also holds the confidence of over 200 ostrich farming-shareholders.
QUALITY & INTEGRITY
The company adheres to all international standards with regard to farming practices, processing, exports, biodiversity management, and bio-security. We also value and apply the humane treatment of ostriches as prescribed by the industry’s code of conduct and regulations.
