Avisen’s story began in 2000 with the meeting of two veterinarians in Senegal, sharing a common idea: develop the animal feed industry to facilitate access to animal protein. Twenty years later, the modest initial artisanal unit has grown into Senegal second largest poultry feed manufacturer. Avisen now produces over 100,000 tons of feedstuff per year and processes broilers in its brand-new slaughterhouse.
To pursue this success story, the shareholders have decided to seek a successor able to take Avisen to the next stage while preserving the vision of the founders: to offer high-quality products at an affordable price for the benefit of Senegalese poultry growers and consumers
Following a comprehensive M&A process reaching out to a wide range of potential buyers, Avisen’s shareholders considered Olam Agri as the worthiest candidate. With its deep market knowledge, technical expertise, and financial capacities, Olam Agri possesses all the strengths needed to pursue Avisen’s development. Olam has indeed played a key role in the Senegalese wheat milling industry for nearly a decade and has gained a strong technical expertise in the animal feed industry as a leading producer in Nigeria.
