El Salvador · Cattle Industry
We connect El Salvador's ranchers, institutions, and partners with the genetics, expertise, and project leadership to build a cattle industry that is productive, profitable, and resilient.
Nowadays, El Salvador imports most of the meat it eats. Decades of hardship decimated a cattle sector that once fed the entire country. Today, El Salvador is going through its rebirth, and the moment to rebuild the cattle industry is here. We believe that work should rest on three things:
Better genetics and better practice mean more, and higher-quality, beef from the same land.
We treat producers as businesses, not beneficiaries, so the work pays for itself and lasts.
A country that can feed itself stands on its own. Food security is national security.
We do not aim to be the face of the sector. We are facilitators: we bring the players together and move things forward quickly.
We bring proven genetics to El Salvador, from breeding straws to live stock, so a herd can improve in a few seasons rather than a generation.
We work alongside the Ministry of Agriculture and local ranchers, sharing best practice in breeding, nutrition, and regenerative grazing, and training Salvadorans to lead the work.
We organize the people, institutions, and resources a serious cattle project needs, and see it through from the first meeting to delivery.
We are helping lay the groundwork for the processing and infrastructure El Salvador needs to feed itself well, step by step.
A single elite bloodline, bred well, can transform a herd. We select genetics that thrive in a tropical climate and pass their quality on, so the gains compound from one farm to the national herd.

Origen Ganadero pairs deep development experience with a builder's drive and a ranching heritage.
Born in El Salvador and home again after two decades abroad, Andrea spent some twenty years leading international development projects across Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East, including directing agriculture and water programs in Ethiopia, working hand in hand with rural ranchers. She brings the project leadership, and the producer-as-business philosophy, that turn good intentions into working enterprises.
A native Texan from a ranching family, Tom spent over a decade building enterprise technology, rising to the C-suite and launching the fiber division that outlived the company that started it. He came to the cattle world through a conviction about real food and self-reliance, and now brings the network, the genetics connections, and the drive to make El Salvador's beef among the best anywhere.
A clear path from a first proof of capability to a self-sufficient national industry.
