Case Study

Kenyan Farm Adds On-Site Processing for Direct Market Supply

A poultry farm in Kenya wanted to capture more value by processing their own birds instead of selling live at farm-gate prices. We supplied a small poultry slaughterhouse with a batch scalder, tabletop plucker, and compact evisceration station that fit into an existing farm building. The line processes several hundred birds per day with a small team. The farm now supplies dressed chicken directly to local restaurants and retailers, achieving a notable improvement in profit margins.

Ghanaian Entrepreneur Launches Mobile Processing Service

An entrepreneur in Ghana started a mobile processing service using a small poultry slaughterhouse installed in a converted shipping container. We supplied a gas-heated scalder, manual plucker, and stainless steel processing table that could operate on generator power. The mobile unit travels to different farms on scheduled days, processing birds on site. The business has grown steadily, now serving a growing number of farms within a regional radius.

Vietnamese Family Business Expands from Wet Market Sales

A family-run poultry business in Vietnam upgraded from selling live birds at wet markets to operating their own small poultry slaughterhouse. We supplied a compact line with electric stunning, a small scalding tank, and a manual evisceration station. The family processes birds daily for their own retail shop and wholesale supply to local restaurants. The investment was recovered within a short period and the business has since added a second shift.
