Idea

Savanah Poultry and Piggery Farm LTD is a start-up agribusiness located in Juba, South Sudan, created to address the rising demand for safe, affordable, and locally produced poultry and pork products. The business seeks to integrate poultry and pig farming with modern practices to supply a wide range of customers, including households, butcheries, restaurants, hotels, NGOs, and institutions. South Sudan’s livestock sector is largely informal, characterized by inconsistent quality, high prices, and biosecurity risks. Savanah Farm aims to professionalize this industry by implementing controlled farming systems, veterinary care, and direct-to-market sales, with a phased approach to scaling operations over the next three years.

Challenge

Savanah Poultry and Piggery Farm LTD is addressing several key challenges in the local livestock sector, including the lack of reliable, hygienic suppliers for urban households, hotels, and NGOs. The market’s dependence on imported frozen meat, along with the prevalence of unhygienic slaughter systems, presents both health risks and economic losses. Additionally, weak biosecurity and disease management further complicate the situation. Savanah’s approach will not only provide fresh, locally sourced meat but will also strengthen the local agricultural value chain, reducing reliance on imports, improving food safety, and creating job opportunities for local communities.

Solution

Savanah Poultry and Piggery Farm LTD offers a solution to the structural challenges in Juba’s livestock market. The high demand for chicken and pork is driven by urbanization and population growth, yet the market suffers from unreliable suppliers, unsanitary slaughter systems, and an overdependence on imported frozen meat. Savanah’s model addresses these gaps by offering fresh, locally produced poultry and pork that meet hygiene and quality standards. With a strong focus on biosecurity and disease management, the farm is set to provide consistent, affordable, and safe meat products, creating a direct link between production and consumers, while contributing to food security in the region.

FasterCapital backs Savanah Poultry and Piggery Farm LTD to professionalize fresh-meat supply in Juba

FasterCapital backs Savanah Poultry and Piggery Farm LTD to professionalize fresh-meat supply in Juba

Juba, South Sudan & Dubai, UAE — Feb 06, 2026

South Sudan’s capital faces chronic gaps in reliable, hygienic meat supply. Urban growth, steady NGO activity, and a strong local preference for fresh meat have left demand outpacing organized local production. Informal supply chains increase prices, raise public-health risks, and keep value off local books. Savanah Poultry and Piggery Farm LTD aims to address this market shortfall with a professional production-and-sales model.

What the Startup Delivers? 

Savanah will operate integrated commercial units for broiler chicken and pig production, delivering live and dressed chicken, fattened pigs, weaners, and fresh pork to household buyers, butcheries, hotels, restaurants, and humanitarian actors in and around Juba. Initial operations will focus on biosecure, veterinarian-managed production cycles, direct weekly supply contracts, and pilot value-added processing to improve shelf life and margins.

Why Now? 

Imported frozen poultry and informal local systems currently dominate the market, creating both quality concerns and unmet demand for fresh product. With rising urban consumption and constrained local competition, professionalized local production can capture share, lower consumer prices, and shorten supply chains while creating local jobs and reducing import dependence.

Program Plan (first 30–60 days)

Under FasterCapital’s EquityPilot program, Savanah will finalize farm layout, source initial breeder stock and feeds, and recruit key farm staff. The immediate 60-day focus includes establishing biosecurity protocols, initiating the first broiler and piglet cohorts, and securing preliminary offtake conversations with hotels, NGOs, and butcheries. FasterCapital support will concentrate on execution planning, operational templates, and buyer-introduction mapping.

Proof Points

Savanah’s concept-stage business plan models an MVP with 1,000 broilers and 100 pigs in Year 1 and revenue-led scaling in Years 2–3. Market research indicates consistent year-round demand in Juba and a pricing window that supports commercial margins for local producers who can guarantee hygiene and timely delivery.

Leadership Comment

Hesham Zreik, Founder and CEO of FasterCapital, said: ‘We’re excited to support Savanah Poultry and Piggery Farm LTD through EquityPilot. Our team will focus on execution milestones and connecting the startup with the right ecosystem stakeholders.’

Founder background

Founder and Managing Director Mawa Ratib combines local market knowledge from Luri Payam with practical farm management experience. The leadership team emphasizes low-capital, high-frequency production cycles to reach early cashflow stability.

Ecosystem relevance

Savanah’s target customers include NGOs and institutional buyers active in Juba, offering a tangible path to early offtake agreements and predictable demand that can underpin rapid operational scale-up.

Next 90 Days

Savanah will run first production cycles, implement strict vet-led biosecurity, finalize branding and pricing for initial buyers, and present an investor-ready execution dashboard to FasterCapital advisors.
