Orora Agro Group · Bujumbura, Burundi
Building Burundi's integrated agribusiness platform
From industrial feed to modern poultry and structured farmer inclusion — a commercial platform with genuine national food-security relevance, anchored by poultry and built on installed industrial assets at the Ex-ALCOVIT site.
- Industrial feed
- Modern poultry
- Farmer inclusion
- Recognised standards
What we do
An integrated, sequenced model — poultry first — connecting feed, production, animal health and farmers in one coordinated platform.
Feed production
Rehabilitating and operating the Ex-ALCOVIT industrial feed mill to supply quality-controlled compound feed for poultry, ruminants and fish.
→Poultry platform
Modern broilers and layers built around biosecurity, veterinary supervision and animal welfare — also a reference and training site.
→Franchise farms
We build, supply and operate professionally run poultry farms under the Orora system for landowners and investors.
→Farmer development
Training, inputs, animal-health support and market access — including smallholders as active commercial partners, not passive beneficiaries.
→Veterinary & animal health
Emerging veterinary and animal-health services to improve flock health and reduce reliance on uncertified inputs.
→Orora Nawe
A proposed national poultry program being explored in coordination with MINEAGRIE, designed around structured smallholder inclusion.
→Installed industrial assets at Ex-ALCOVIT
Orora Agro Group operates from installed industrial assets on the Ex-ALCOVIT site, Avenue de la Verrerie, in Bujumbura's Quartier Industriel. Reviving this industrial base is central to restoring a reliable national supply of quality-controlled compound feed and reducing dependence on imported feed and concentrates.
Adjacent to the feed mill, our modern poultry site operates as both a commercial farm and a reference site — demonstrating modern housing, biosecurity, veterinary supervision, animal welfare and producer training.
- Quartier Industriel feed-mill restart
- Modern poultry production and demonstration
- Operating to standards expected by government and development-finance institutions
How the model works
Three integrated value chains, deployed sequentially — with poultry as the immediate anchor.
- 1
1 · Reliable feed
Industrial-scale, quality-controlled compound feed is the backbone of livestock productivity — produced at the Ex-ALCOVIT mill and supplied across the platform.
- 2
2 · Modern poultry
Broilers and layers raised with biosecurity, veterinary supervision and animal welfare — supplying the market and demonstrating modern standards.
- 3
3 · Structured inclusion
Farmers join through training, inputs, animal-health support, predictable economics and market access — as active commercial partners.

Food & protein security
Reliable national feed and modern poultry improve household access to animal protein.
Import substitution
Restoring local feed production reduces dependence on imported feed and concentrates.
Rural jobs
Industrial assets and contracted producer networks are designed to generate formal, structured employment.
Smallholder inclusion
Farmers participate as active commercial partners with predictable economics — with attention to women and youth.
Recognised standards
Biosecurity, animal welfare, and environmental and social safeguards are designed in from the start.
An execution plan
A disciplined, sequenced build — poultry first — rather than promises ahead of proof.
Orora Nawe — a proposed national poultry program
Building on our installed assets, Orora is exploring — in coordination with MINEAGRIE — the design of a national poultry program. Possible structures include public-private-producer (4P/PPPP) arrangements in which producers participate as active commercial partners, subject to joint technical validation and applicable procedures.
It is a proposal, not an operational program. Partners, DFIs, NGOs and government entities are welcome to open a first technical exchange.
