Starting with Nigeria and Angola, we have made significant inroads in Africa with the provision of our consultancy services in
poultry production. These include, among others:
A preliminary assessment of the proposed project in terms
of suitability and justification;
An in-depth market research scanning the Political,
Economical, Social, Technological environment and a Porter 5- Forces analysis reviewing status of suppliers, buyers, competitors
and entry barriers;
Design of business model;
Prefeasibility study regrouping all above information
and showing possible alternatives;
Assistance in designing the project model, the production
plan, getting proposals from qualified suppliers, drawing RFP and RFQ documents with technical specifications and advice;
Preparation of a project plan with deliverables,
scope and time lines;
Project follow up, excluding on-ground support for
execution of works - although this can be available on demand;
Upon project completion, we also provide management,
assistance on recruitment, training and support for the first years of operations.
Nigeria
In February 2010, an agreement was signed with Food Concepts Plc, a Nigerian conglomerate, for the provision by Innodis of such
consultancy services in setting up a chicken business in Nigeria.
Food Concepts has been a major player in the food sector in Nigeria for several years, more particularly in the fast food and
bakery business. Figuring in the top 5 of local companies engaged in food production and distribution, it operates its fast
food chain under its flagship brand Chicken Republic™ (around 70 outlets across Nigeria and Ghana). It plans to open some 250
more outlets in Nigeria and other African countries by the close of 2012.
We have also been assisting Food Concepts Plc in designing and managing the poultry production project as well as providing
management assistance in the initial stages of the operations.
With this cross-border agreement, Innodis has become one of the first local companies to export its knowledge base to Nigeria.
The west-African country, with a population base of some 150 million inhabitants, is hailed as a promising market.
Angola
After Nigeria, we have also extended our services to Angola, namely to Sonangol, a para-statal body and the sole concessionaire
for exploration of oil and gas exploration on the subsoil and continental shelf of Angola.
The company is responsible for the exploration, production, manufacturing, transportation and marketing of hydrocarbons in Angola.
