What Sedima Group does

Sedima Group, formally SEDIMA SA, is a privately-held Senegalese agro-industrial company headquartered in Dakar, founded in 1974 and operating across West Africa for over 51 years. The company's core business is vertically-integrated poultry: production and commercialization of day-old chicks, formulation and production of poultry and livestock feed, distribution of agricultural and poultry equipment, supply of consumption eggs, and design and delivery of turnkey poultry farming projects. Since 2014 it has diversified into wheat flour milling, producing bakery, pastry, and biscuit flour variants, and operates a branded processed-poultry line (Poulet Ter'hal). A dedicated export arm, Sedima Internationale, facilitates cross-border agricultural trade.

The company runs an enterprise field-sales go-to-market model, distributing directly from 35 operational sites to a network of more than 2,000 active clients (agricultural businesses, commercial poultry farmers, bakeries, and food processors across West Africa). Underlying technology is industrial rather than digital: integrated breeding, feed mills, modern processing and packaging facilities, and a wheat flour minoterie, with no disclosed software platform, API, or AI capabilities. Pricing is custom B2B with publicly undisclosed rates; revenue streams span hardware-equivalent product sales (feed, chicks, equipment, flour, eggs), professional services (turnkey poultry projects, farming services), and transaction-fee international export logistics. The company reportedly employs 600+ personnel and is privately held with no public listing, parent company, or institutional ownership disclosed in source materials.

Broad incumbents

• Tyson Foods: One of the world's largest integrated poultry processors with operations across feed, breeding, processing, and branded products. Comparable as a large incumbent demonstrating the scaled integrated poultry model that SEDIMA aspires to, and a major exporter into African markets.
• BRF S.A. Brazilian global poultry and food processing giant with integrated operations across feed, breeding, and processed poultry products. Comparable as a much larger incumbent demonstrating the global benchmark for integrated poultry economics, and a key competitor in African poultry import markets.
• Olam International: Singapore-headquartered global agribusiness with extensive operations across Africa, including animal feed, grains, and food ingredients. Comparable as a large incumbent in African agribusiness with feed and grain trading capabilities that overlap with SEDIMA's feed and flour operations.
• New Hope Liuhe: Chinese integrated agribusiness with major feed milling and poultry operations, including expanding presence in Africa and emerging markets. Comparable as a large integrated feed-and-poultry incumbent, and a relevant benchmark for the internationalization path SEDIMA Internationale is pursuing.
• Cargill: Global agribusiness giant with animal nutrition, grain processing, and food ingredient operations across Africa. Comparable as a large incumbent in feed milling and grain trading that competes with SEDIMA in feed and flour markets and serves similar food processing customers.

Direct peers

• Country Bird Holdings: South African integrated poultry company with operations across breeding, feed milling, broiler production, and processing. Closely comparable business model to SEDIMA's vertically integrated structure, though focused on the Southern African market.
• Astral Foods: South African integrated poultry producer operating across broiler breeding, feed production, and processed poultry products. Directly comparable as a vertically integrated African poultry platform with similar feed-and-processing economics, though operating in a more developed South African market.

Regional players

• Golden Lay Ghana: Ghanaian integrated poultry and egg producer operating in West Africa. Comparable as a regional poultry competitor serving the same broader West African market with similar integrated farming and distribution operations, though primarily focused on eggs and broiler production.
• House of Chicken (House of Chicken Group): Nigerian poultry processor producing branded chicken products for the West African market. Comparable as a regional branded poultry player serving similar customer segments in neighboring Nigeria, providing a benchmark for branded poultry positioning in West Africa.
• Amo Farm Sieberer Hatchery: Nigerian integrated poultry company producing day-old chicks, broiler meat, and eggs across West Africa. Comparable to SEDIMA's day-old chick production and integrated poultry model, serving an adjacent West African country with similar demographic and protein demand drivers.
