Project description

To improve his family's diet, he bought a few chickens so that he no longer had to spend money on eggs. After a few months, he was able to collect eight eggs a day. This gave him the idea of selling the surplus eggs to his neighbors.

He realized that there was a gap in the business. Because not only eggs are in demand, but also chickens. He decided to buy an incubator to help him breed chickens. He initially bought a machine from China, but it didn't work properly. So he decided to build his own incubator. He succeeded. Elias is now a sought-after chicken breeder in his region. He currently produces 1,500 chickens per week. His goal is to produce 50,000 chickens per month in the next four years.

His business has a positive impact on society. His focus is on breeding and selling young chicks to farmers or individual families. Elias does this with great passion.

Elias has a vision of setting up a poultry breeding company that provides solutions for various poultry farmers who previously bought their chickens in neighboring countries. He wants to breed high-quality chickens in order to produce high-quality eggs in return. In order to continuously improve his business, he uses the services of BPN.
