Proof that it's possible to succeed in Mayotte.
A strong ambition: producing locally, creating value here
In 2011, Guillaume Rubin founded a company in Mayotte with a simple but ambitious idea: structure a local, sustainable poultry industry that is independent of imports.
Today, Ekwali Animal Nutrition is one of the pillars of the Mauritian agri-food industry. Its integrated model - from hatchery to slaughtering, including the training of breeders - has enabled an entire region to take back control of your food production.
“Our aim has never been to do what we do elsewhere, but to do it better, here.”
