Gradual expansion · Phase 1 · 2027-2028

Expected results
What Phase 1 should deliver
Deliberately cautious targets, calculated at the selling price actually observed in 2026.
At full operation, the additional production amounts to:
≈ 265,500more saleable eggs per year
3.6 tmore vegetables per year
1 tof fish per year, at most
The programme
Seven components
Every investment is triggered by verified results: capacity is reduced before any order rather than compromising health requirements.
Preparation and compliance
Signed inventory, veterinary, agronomic, fish-farming and water-energy assessments, environmental study as advised by the competent services, plans and quotes.
Poultry
Rehabilitation and biosecurity, two modules of 500 places, small feed-mixing unit, 1,000 point-of-lay pullets, packaging and distribution.
Protected vegetables
A documented cycle in the existing greenhouse, then a 300 m² greenhouse and its irrigation if the margin is positive.
Fish-farming pilot
Survey and rehabilitation of the existing ponds; a 500 kg pilot in 2028, then up to 1 t/year if two cycles are successful.
Water and energy
Borehole flow measurement, storage, solar pumping, protection and a back-up solution.
Skills and jobs
20 places in practical modules: biosecurity, records, irrigation, costing and sales.
Management and accountability
Digital traceability, closing of accounts and independent review by a chartered accountant.
Timeline
Two years, two stages
The second module only goes ahead if the first delivers three consecutive months of positive margin, with no open health risk.
- Q1 2027Preparation: accounts, inventory, assessments, market study, quotes.
- 2027Water-energy and biosecurity works; construction of the first poultry module.
- Mid-2027Arrival of the first batch of 500 pullets; documented vegetable cycle.
- Late 2027Independent review and decision on the second tranche.
- 2028Second module, additional greenhouse and fish pilot; second batch of 500 pullets.
- Late 2028Closing review and decision on the next stage.
Funding sought
A plan with no new debt
Funds are released in conditional tranches, into a dedicated bank account, with quarterly reports and an annual independent review.
Founders’ contributions
6 M FCFA, including the preparation phase, funded first
Patient capital
12 M FCFA, from a diaspora investor or impact fund
Grants and support
12 M FCFA for items of public interest
External resources have yet to be raised. If they fall short, the programme is limited to the preparation phase and the first poultry module.
Beyond 2028
Towards an integrated agropastoral hub
In the longer term, FAMZ aims to create the Integrated Agropastoral Hub of Zignébougou (PAIZ): larger-scale laying-hen farming, a feed mill supplied with maize and soy by neighbouring cooperatives, a fish-farming unit, a practical training centre and digital management.
This second phase will only be considered if the first demonstrates, over at least twelve months, a positive margin, certified accounts, health control and confirmed markets.
