# Sedima Plans US$35M Integrated Poultry and Feed Complex in Republic of Congo

*Senegalese poultry group Sedima is set to invest 20.47 billion CFA francs (US$35 million) in an integrated poultry and grain complex in Nkouo, Republic of Congo, targeting local corn, soybean and broiler production to reduce the country's dependence on imported feed and chicken.*

Senegalese poultry group Sedima plans to invest 20.47 billion CFA francs (US$35 million) in an integrated poultry and grain complex in Nkouo, in the Pool department of the Republic of Congo, according to a report published on 3 October 2026 by *Feed Business Middle East & Africa*.

The project will be developed through Sedima Congo SA and is designed to cover the full poultry production chain — from growing corn and soybeans for animal feed through to broiler production, slaughtering and chicken packaging. Once fully operational, the complex is planned to produce 10,800 tonnes of corn, 6,600 tonnes of soybeans and 2,200 tonnes of broiler chicken annually. Planned facilities include crop farms, a hatchery, poultry farms and a slaughterhouse.

The investment will be financed through a combination of equity and loans from regional financial institutions, including BGFIBank and the Development Bank of Central African States (BDEAC).

The project follows Sedima's integrated model already operating in Senegal, where the group produces poultry and livestock feed alongside other agricultural products. The company said it began exploring Congo's local poultry market in 2015, when its executives met poultry farmers in Pointe-Noire to discuss the production and sale of day-old chicks.

Congo currently imports a significant share of the chicken and animal feed it consumes. By producing corn and soybeans locally and integrating them into its poultry operations, Sedima aims to reduce reliance on imported inputs and supply the domestic market.

Sedima was founded by Babacar Ngom in 1976 and has grown into one of Senegal's leading poultry groups, producing day-old chicks, poultry, animal feed and eggs. The group has since expanded into wheat milling, grain farming, real estate and finance, and operates in Senegal, Mali and Congo. The Congo complex represents Sedima's largest foreign investment to date, according to the report.
