On 26 August 2026, SOPRODA chartered an entire cargo plane from Ostend (Belgium) to deliver 165,000 day-old chicks to Bamako (Mali).
This major logistical operation is a testament to our expertise and our commitment to supporting African farmers in the success of their poultry projects.
At SOPRODA, we know that the success of a farm begins on day one. The vitality and quality of day-old chicks are the foundation of efficient, profitable and sustainable production. That is why we implement logistical and technical solutions adapted to the realities of tropical poultry farming.
An international logistics process mastered from start to finish
Ensuring the delivery of several hundred thousand chicks is no ordinary task. It is a challenge that requires logistical expertise, organisational rigour and perfect health control.
For each shipment, SOPRODA guarantees:
✔️Secure air freight: our teams coordinate every stage, from loading in Europe to delivery on African soil.
✔️Strict health monitoring: all batches comply with international regulations and undergo rigorous veterinary monitoring.
✔️A controlled environment: optimised temperature, ventilation and oxygenation to preserve the vitality of the chicks during transport.
✔️Continuous monitoring: from the farm of origin to arrival at destination, every detail is supervised.
High-quality day-old chicks
Our chicks come from the best European genetic selection centres. Renowned for their robustness, rapid growth and high laying or meat potential, they offer farmers:
✔️Better viability from the outset
✔️Superior laying or weight gain performance
✔️Guaranteed genetic security, ensuring reproductive performance
More than a supplier: a true partner for breeders
With more than 4 million chicks exported each year, representing nearly 10% of French production, SOPRODA has established itself as a key strategic partner in the poultry sector. This position reflects not only the quality of our products, but also the trust that breeders across Africa and the French overseas departments and territories have placed in us for decades.
Our commitment goes beyond simply delivering chicks. We are on the ground to support farmers in their daily work and development. Thanks to our expertise in tropical poultry farming, we provide technical advice tailored to the specific realities of hot and humid climates.
Beyond consulting, we design and install tailor-made solutions that integrate high-performance buildings, modern equipment and technical support services. Each project is designed to optimise production, reduce operating costs and secure the long-term growth of farms.
Our mission is clear: to contribute to the sustainable development of tropical poultry farming by giving farmers, whether they are based in a large capital city or in an isolated rural area, the means to succeed.
