GROWING TOGETHER

NOURISHING THE FUTURE, CULTIVATING TOMORROW

A key player in the Central African agri-food industry, SGMP has been part of the Cadyst Group since August 2025, following the acquisition of Somdia’s subsidiaries.

With over 60 years of presence in Congo, SGMP operates across four core business areas:

A flour mill for wheat flour production

A maize processing unit for maize-based products

An animal feed production unit (feed mill)

 A hatchery for day-old chick production

These activities support local agriculture, livestock farming, and food security by integrating sustainable practices and assisting producers through a dedicated upstream agricultural service focused on maize cultivation.

The acquisition by Cadyst Group, finalized on August 6, 2025, marks a new era of synergies, with an emphasis on innovation, competitiveness, and pan-African expansion. This enables SGMP to contribute to Cadysts vision: “Nourishing and Caring for African Populations,” by strengthening local value chains in flour, biscuits, pasta, animal feed, and poultry farming.

OUR

SITES

SGMP operates at two strategic sites in Congo to optimize production and comply with biosafety standards:

Main Site at the Autonomous Port of Pointe-Noire (Far South of Congo)

This agro-industrial complex houses the flour mill, maize processing unit, and animal feed production facility. Located at a key port, it facilitates the import of raw materials and efficient distribution of finished products.

Secondary Site in Nkayi (South-Central Congo)

Dedicated to the hatchery for producing day-old chicks for breeders, this isolated site ensures optimal biosecurity. It also serves as the headquarters for the Upstream Agricultural Service, which supports farmers in developing maize cultivation for a robust local supply chain.

These sites are now part of an expanded network of eight industrial plants within the Cadyst Group, covering Cameroon and Congo.

ANIMAL FEED

AND POULTRY FARMING

SGMP excels in animal feed production and poultry farming, supporting local farmers for a sustainable supply chain. The feed production unit in Pointe-Noire manufactures nutritious feed for livestock and poultry, utilizing local ingredients like maize to reduce imports and promote self-sufficiency. The hatchery in Nkayi supplies high-quality day-old chicks, prioritizing sanitary standards to minimize risks. Through its Upstream Agricultural Service, SGMP invests in training farmers and breeders, promoting environmentally friendly practices and contributing to rural development. This integrated approach strengthens the livestock value chain in Congo, aligning with Cadyst’s goals for a responsible and inclusive agri-food industry.
