01.01 Décrivez votre projet en détail

Our business builds a state-of-the-art chicken farm and provides infrastructure as a service, empowering Ethiopian youth to start poultry business. With minimal investment, individuals can purchase packages based on their financial capacity. We handle all aspects of poultry farming, including feeding, vaccinating, logistics, and sales, helping youth invest wisely and avoid unnecessary expenses. We will develop software systems, including a web portal or mobile app and a dashboard. The web portal allows Ethiopians worldwide to view, select, and purchase packages, track their investments, and predict returns and profits. The dashboard system enables our admin staff to manage orders efficiently. Contracts are renewed every 1.5 years, offering two options: terminate and sell old chickens for a dividend, or renew with new chickens, continuing to profit from egg production. This sustainable model maximizes resources, minimizes risk, and fosters youth entrepreneurship in agriculture.

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

We noticed that many people in Ethiopia struggle with figuring out what to do with their money, whether it's ETB1000 or even more. Instead of saving or investing, they often end up spending it on things like hanging out with friends. So, we came up with the idea of offering infrastructure for certain agribusinesses, like poultry farming, as a service. This means anyone can start making money on the side by raising chickens with us. You can start with just one chicken and grow from there, depending on how much you want to invest.

05.08 Justification de mon projet

Our project is unique because, to our knowledge, no one has tried this business model in the poultry sector before. We revolutionise poultry farming by integrating successful business models from various industries, such as the popular infrastructure-as-a-service model from the tech sector. Additionally, we firmly believe that Ethiopian youth need a side income to combat high inflation and improve their financial stability.

05.09 Qui sont vos principaux potentiels concurrents et qu'est-ce qui vous différencie d'eux ?

Our main competitors include established poultry farms, cooperatives, and small-scale farmers. We stand out due to: 1. Innovative Business Model: We offer an infrastructure-as-a-service model, lowering entry barriers for aspiring entrepreneurs and shifting the financial burden. This model, inspired by tech sector practices, is unique in poultry. 2. Comprehensive Support: We provide end-to-end services—incubation, feeding, vaccination, logistics, and sales—allowing clients to focus solely on investment. 3. Accessibility: Our web portal enables Ethiopian youth worldwide to invest in poultry farming with transparency, real-time tracking, and ease of use. 4. Economic Empowerment: We empower youth and women with low-cost entry opportunities, fostering economic independence and community uplift, a focus many competitors lack.
