Schematic map — relative positions, not to scale.
Poultry farming is Cameroon's most dynamic livestock value chain: short cycle, sustained demand for broiler and eggs, a dense fabric of feed mills and hatcheries.
- Dependence on imported inputs (parent chicks, premix, maize/soybean).
- Biosecurity and prevention of epizootics (avian flu).
- Informal competition and volatility of live-bird prices.
- Modern slaughter and cutting: upgrading of the offer.
- Vertical integration of feed–farming–slaughter.
- Eggs: continuously growing urban demand.
A short-cycle, high-demand value chain, but dependent on imported inputs.
- Design and management of high-performing poultry houses (broiler, layer).
- Biosecurity and prophylaxis: prevention of epizootics (avian flu).
- Mastery of feed and zootechnical performance.
Move upmarket, from live birds and eggs to finished, consistent products.
- Modern slaughter, cutting and packaging to standard.
- Cold chain from slaughterhouse to point of sale.
- Egg valorization: grading, packaging, brands.
Sustained urban demand, to be secured through reliable channels.
- Contracting with retail, food service and institutions.
- Upgrading against informal competition and imports.
- Local brands and traceability as differentiation.
Reduce dependence on imported inputs through integration.
- Feed-farming-slaughter integration to control costs.
- Secured sourcing of chicks and premix.
- Progressive substitution with local maize and soybean.
Agrovita makes poultry projects bankable and high-performing.
- Design of farming and slaughter units to standard.
- Biosecurity plans and technical management.
- Financial structuring and downstream contracting.
From raw material to the circular economy (N1 → N4)

The product type describes what leaves the farm or the unit, in its state of sale — it is what triggers processing, cold-chain, compliance and certification services.
Market, post-harvest, logistics.
Cold chain, storage, corridor, product compliance.
Unit sizing, energy, food safety management.
Full unit, HACCP, labelling, brand.
