SIAT

What SIAT does

SIAT operates through its subsidiary or related entity SIATOL a soybean processing and edible oil refining operation anchored by a US$4 million oil mill facility in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Inaugurated on February 27, 2026, the facility has daily processing capacity of 12 tons of soybeans, yielding 10 tons of refined edible oil and 100 tons of animal feed, equivalent to 12,000 tons of annual processing capacity. The operation addresses Burkina Faso's domestic edible oil import dependency, which rose fivefold from 37,300 tons in 2020 to approximately 192,900 tons in 2024, while also serving the local livestock sector with domestically produced animal feed derived from soybean processing byproducts.

The business model is industrial commodity processing: SIATOL purchases soybeans, converts them into refined oil and animal feed, and sells into Burkina Faso's domestic market. The current facility addresses roughly 6.2% of national edible oil import volume, with a planned expansion to 40 tons/day soybean crushing and 200 tons/day feed production targeted for 2026. A US$4 million capital deployment funded the initial build, and the relationship between SIATOL and SIAT — including equity ownership and corporate structure — is not clarified in available sources. Note: firmographic metadata also references SIAT as an Italian industrial air treatment equipment designer (founded 1971, Macello, 11-50 employees), which conflicts with the Burkina Faso agribusiness profile; this discrepancy is unresolved and limits confidence in the integrated corporate picture.
