Building a national industrial poultry value chain
CASE STUDY NO. 1 · Agro-Industry · Central Africa · $185M

Building a national industrial poultry value chain

The Context

A Central African State imports the vast majority of its poultry consumption. This dependence severely strains its trade balance and exposes its population to external price shocks.

The Mandate

As part of its sovereign economic diversification plan, the government entrusted KUMBA with the comprehensive design of an integrated industrial poultry value chain, from feed production to slaughter and packaging.

Our Intervention

We conducted the opportunity study, established the business plan and financial model, and presented the transaction at the highest level of government. The technical operator was selected following rigorous integrity and track record due diligence.

The Selected Structure

An OHADA Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) pairing a majority private sponsor with the sovereign State, a technical management contract with a seasoned African poultry operator, and quasi-equity financing mobilized from DFIs to complement equity. The framework rests on a six-level guarantee architecture.

The Results

Shareholding structure finalized, share capital established, business plan and presidential memorandum formally approved.

Targeted Partners

Development finance institutions specialized in private sector and quasi-equity; experienced poultry sector operator-investors.

PARTNERSHIPS
