Our role

AgDevCo’s debt investment into Uzima Uganda provides the funding required for the expansion of operations in Uganda including production of day-old chicks for local smallholder farmers. To achieve this, Uzima is investing in setting and stocking up a new farm at Buruli,  expanding its hatchery capacity and increasing its feed production volume. This is expected to expand Uzima’s production capacity to 8-10 million birds a year over a 5-year period.
