Vytelle Expands to Brisbane, Australia with Sixteenth Global Bovine In Vitro Fertilisation Laboratory

BRISBANE, Australia,, July 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vytelle, a precision livestock company, is progressing on their five-year plan to provide accessible, hormone-free, bovine in vitro fertilisation to producers across the globe. Announced today, Vytelle has expanded to Brisbane, Australia with its sixteenth global laboratory.

Vytelle’s integrated technology platform combines Vytelle ADVANCE, a breakthrough in vitro fertilisation (IVF) technology, with Vytelle SENSE, an animal performance data capture system, and Vytelle INSIGHT, an artificial intelligence based genetic analytics engine.  The platform provides progressive cattle producers the technology to make reliable data-driven mating decisions that improve the predictability of genetic progress, replicating the right genetics faster.

The Brisbane-based, Australia laboratory brings accessibility to modern reproduction technology like never before to Australia’s eastern states’ beef herds. Vytelle’s hormone-free in vitro fertilisation process, including their proprietary media, will deliver high-quality embryos to producers allowing them to make more valuable calves, faster to maximise sustainability.

“Vytelle is the fastest growing bovine IVF company in the world,” commented Kerryann Kocher, CEO of Vytelle. She continued, “We are thrilled to open our doors in Brisbane, positioning Vytelle to serve 70% of the total beef herd in Australia from this location.”

 Vytelle has a long history in Australia through its Vytelle SENSE phenotypic data capture technology to measure and select for feed efficiency. With this investment, Vytelle is positioned to help Australian producers improve efficiencies and make faster genetic progress across the supply chain to consistently market more efficient and sustainable beef. “The large-scale adoption of IVF will be driven by the successful use of frozen embryos,” stated Andrew Donoghue, Regional Manager for Australia and New Zealand. He continued, “Unlike other technologies, the Vytelle system allows us to deliver frozen results producers can count on, providing reliable IVF to herds historically underserved with fresh programs.”

The Australian-based team is serving beef and dairy producers with on-farm ovum pick-ups immediately. Visit www.vytelle.com or contact Andrew Donoghue at andrew.donoghue@vytelle.com or +61 428 442 1555 to accelerate your herd’s genetic progress today.

What Nigerians need to know about Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment Programme

Roseau, July 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nigeria is currently facing economic challenges, despite having the largest economy in Africa. The country’s debt grew a staggering 500 per cent under the former President, Muhammadu Buhari. The World Bank revised Nigeria’s gross domestic product (GDP) earlier this year, in the recent Nigeria Development Update (NDU).

The NDU report is released biannually by the World Bank and evaluates Nigeria’s current economic and social developments and long-term prospects on a global scale. The report also focuses on Nigeria’s economic and policy issues and analyses medium-term development challenges.

These economic and political challenges are causing Nigerian citizens to face great uncertainty, many of whom are hoping to see positive changes with the new president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Nigerians are continuously seeking alternative methods to protect themselves and their families’ future, and one economical way of achieving this can be through the investment migration industry. Several factors influence Nigerians’ choices in selecting a host country’s CBI programme. Nigerians desire their dual citizenship to ensure economic and political stability in a host country that creates safety and security for both personal and business activities.

The Commonwealth of Dominica offers Nigerians opportunities that include encouraging and supporting business growth and a family-friendly environment.

Nigerians can access these opportunities through Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programme and obtain dual citizenship in exchange for contributing investments towards one of the programme’s investment options. There are additional requirements when applying for dual citizenship, which include background and due diligence checks that may have additional fees applied.

Access to quality healthcare and educational facilities is important for Nigerians and their families, these facilities have international standards that offer advanced medical practices and schools that encourage further studies in Dominica or anywhere else around the world.

Dominica’s dual citizenship has one of the most affordable CBI programmes in the Eastern Caribbean region.

How do Nigerians benefit from Dominica’s CBI Programme?

Dual citizenship is a key to opening possibilities that come with Dominica’s dual citizenship, Nigerians can become part of the greater global community and increase their chances of ease of access to global markets that they were unable to previously.

Dominica is an English-speaking country, making it easier to communicate with the locals and with the Government of Dominica.

Nigerians can establish their businesses and expand their existing business ventures in Dominica. This will open more possibilities for creating permanent jobs and support local entrepreneurs with their small businesses.

Dominica offers offshore financial services to Nigerians who want to make international transactions and remittances back home. The CBI programme forms avenues for wealth management services and opportunities to protect assets and generational wealth.

The country also has many projects that are currently running through Dominica’s CBI, which will yield profitable results in their developing stages once completed, these will support the economic development of the country and improve the livelihoods of all citizens.

Nigerians can visit and live in Dominica with their family members whom they had applied for dual citizenship. Dominica is a tropical island paradise with picturesque landscapes and endless leisure activities for the whole family to enjoy.

Nigerian applicants are not required to undergo a series of exams to apply, nor do they need to live in Dominica for some time to qualify for dual citizenship.

Investment options available for dual citizenship

Nigerians can choose from the Economic Diversification Fund or Dominica’s Real Estate investment options. These investment options are also efficient for large families.

The Economic Diversification Fund (EDF) is a non-refundable contribution towards financially supporting private or public initiatives in Dominica. These initiatives include construction and development projects, renovation of hospitals, ecotourism, and agriculture. The contribution funds depend on the number of family members included in the applicant:

  • The main applicant is ₦77,000,000 (US$100,000)
  • A married couple’s contribution is ₦15,000,000 (US$150,000)
  • A family of four contributions is ₦134,000,000 (US$175,000)
  • For any additional family member under 18 years of age is ₦19,000,000 (US$25,000)
  • And for any additional family member 18 years of age and over is ₦38,000,000 (US$50,000)

Dominica’s Real Estate investment option has government-approved luxurious properties around the country that offer exceptional returns on investments. From ₦153,000,000 (US$200,000). Any real estate properties purchased must own for a minimum of three years, or five years should the future purchaser be a CBI applicant. Dominica’s real estate fees are as follows:

  • The main applicant is ₦19,000,000 (US$25,000)
  • For a family of four is ₦26,000,000 (US$35,000)
  • For a family of five is ₦38,000,000 (US$50,000)
  • For any additional family member is ₦19,000,000 (US$25,000)

Dominica has award-winning luxury properties such as the Secret Bay. The eco-luxury resort featured in Travel + Leisure as the ‘#1 Best Resort Hotel in the Caribbean, Bermuda, and the Bahamas‘ in 2022 and is expanding its amenities and villas that are expected to be available from 2025, Dominica’s CBI investors contribute to Secret Bay’s success, as it offers high returns on investments. There are other luxury resorts and villas can cater to the needs of Nigerian investors’ long-term investment goals, such as Jungle Bay, and InterContinental Dominica Cabrits Resort and Spa.

Dominica Citizenship an ideal Plan B for wealthy Kenyan investors

Roseau, July 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As the European Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States tighten their grips on immigration policies, Kenyan investors are feeling the pinch of hyperinflation and global markets affecting their abilities to trade and travel to these countries.

Kenyan investors are making the most of the citizenship by investment (CBI) programmes in the Caribbean, more particularly in the Commonwealth of Dominica. Dominica CBI programme offers better lifestyle opportunities from quality education to healthcare system; the country has some of the best medical facilities in the world, with financial support from the CBI programme. the country’s official language is English, closely followed by Dominican Creole, which is French based, amongst local citizens.

The ‘Nature Island of the Caribbean’ is also economically and politically stable, and it is one of the fastest-growing economies in the Caribbean region. The IMF predicted that the country would exceed growth of over 4.5 per cent for 2023, including the full recovery of the tourism sector post-pandemic, as the construction of the geothermal power plant and the new international airport are projected to support Dominica’s gross domestic product (GDP), as well as the expansion of Douglas Charles Airport runway.

In May this year, Dominica Prime Minister, Honourable Dr. Roosevelt Skerrit, alongside Dominica Education Minister, Octavia Alfred, and Parliamentary Secretary, Fenella Wenham-Sheppard, had met with principles from secondary schools to discuss the education reform in the country. The discussion included possibilities to review the national education system. These discussions are to effect change towards a stronger education system to ensure all students in Dominica can access fundamental education and develop their learning experiences.

Dominica has quality healthcare facilities that align with international standards. Earlier this year, Honourable Dr. Skerrit announced changes to the country’s healthcare policy that Dominican citizens should all have access to quality medical facilities, despite their economic status and the Dominican youth between 16 to 18 years of age will have access to free medical care in the country. The Minister of Health, Wellness and Social Services of Dominica, Cassani Laville, guided a tour around the Marigot hospital and the state-of-the-art medical treatment facilities that will be available to the public from July 2023. The Marigot Hospital is another representation of the government of Dominica’s goals in becoming the world’s first climate-resilient nation.

The island is also an ideal retirement location for senior Kenyan citizens, with additional healthcare benefits. Dominica’s CBI Programme has sustained a flourishing expat community by providing opportunities in a favourable business environment, and for their families to reside in a safe and secure lifestyle.

Dominica CBI Programme

Dominica CBI Programme is one of the youngest and most affordable CBI programmes in the Caribbean region and one of the most recognised globally. A “Plan B” for Kenyans to secure their personal well-being, families and the future of their businesses, in a world filled with uncertainties. There are two distinct investment options that have favourable offerings for Kenyan investors to acquaint themselves with.

Economic Diversification Fund (EDF)

For as little as US$100,000 (estimated KSh14,000.000), the EDF is an investment option centered around socio-economic development. This is an element in the national capital mobilisation portfolio. Funds accumulated through EDF support the construction of schools, the development of medical facilities, agriculture and tourism sectors, as well construction of a national sports stadium.

Dominica is actively striving to become the world’s first climate-resilient country and fulfil sustainable development goals. Various government projects such as the planning of the geothermal power plant have gained traction in the latest developments. A Joint Venture between Dominica Geothermal Development Company and a Trinidad and Tobago company, Kenesjay Green, are driving the advancements of the geothermal and hydrogen projects in Dominica. Evolving the country’s energy into renewable energy will make Dominica one of the global exporters of green hydrogen energy, as well as propel economic development in key sectors such as tourism.

Launched in 2018, the Climate Resilience Execution Agency for Dominica (CREAD) was formed to strategically support the economic development of the country. There are 20 targets, which are separated into 6 categories that are strong communities; Robust Economy; Durable Infrastructure; Enhanced Institutional Systems; Collective Consciousness; and Protected and Sustainability Leveraged Natural and Other unique Assets. that are highlighted that Dominica aims to achieve by the year 2030.

These are noteworthy government initiatives that are tackling climate change critical to Dominica for preparedness and preservation of the natural environment around the Nature Isle of the Caribbean.

Real Estate

Kenyan investors can splurge on the Real Estate investment option that has a variety of government-approved properties that offer unique luxurious experiences for affluent Kenyans that seek decadent lifestyle choices. The minimum contribution amount is US$200,000 (estimated KSh36,000,000) towards an approved real estate property.

This investment option has the flexibility of permitting Kenyans to hold the real estate property for a period of three years from the date of citizenship approval, or for five years should the potential future buyer be a CBI applicant.

There are government fees attached to each application should the main Kenyan applicant want to include dependants, which consists of a spouse (next of kin):

  • US$25,000 (estimated KSh3,500,000) for the main applicant;
  • US35,000 (estimated KSh4,900,000) for the main applicant and up to three dependants;
  • US$50,000 (estimated KSh7,000,000) for the main applicant and up to five dependants;
  • US$25,000 (estimated KSh3,500,000) for additional dependants.

There are due diligence and processing fees applied per application.

Dominica has some of the global award-winning unique real estate properties that are on-demand and have potentially high Return on Investment (ROI) earnings for discerning Kenyan investors.

Dominica’s first government-approved real estate is the InternContinental Dominica Carbits Resort & Spa, the luxurious property is located on the beachfront of Douglas Bay that boasts sustainable elements which furnish memorable experiences that Kenyans will have like never before.

The Residences at Secret Bay are deemed the crown jewel of the Nature Isle of the Caribbean. The eco-luxury villas received recognition from Travel + Leisure, Luxury Lifestyle Magazine, Forbes and many more reputable global publications. From breathtaking views, activities for thrill seekers and luxurious dining experiences, the Secret Bay is nothing less than spectacular.

Sanctuary Rainforest Eco Resort and Spa will be located in Roseau Valley, which will offer a truly serene eco-luxury resort that morphs with nature. The resort is currently being constructed in the Morne Trois Pitons National Park and will be nestled close to Middleham Falls. The resort will have high-end luxury spa facilities and fine-dining restaurants.
