SEEA Works

Poultry farming in the Democratic Republic of Congo, particularly in Bukavu and its surrounding areas, plays a vital role in supplying animal protein and generating income. As the primary source of meat and eggs in local villages and towns, poultry farming significantly contributes to the socio-economic fabric by fostering opportunities for savings and investment. However, poultry farmers face substantial challenges due to the high cost and low quality of available poultry feed. These issues arise from the expensive technology and imported raw materials required for feed production, which many farmers cannot afford. As a result, the growth of animal production is stunted, as it takes longer for livestock to reach marketable sizes. This delay in turn postpones income for farmers, forcing them to seek alternative protein sources such as soybean, fish meal, and animal blood—each of which is costly and competes with human consumption, further exacerbating food security concerns.

SEEA WORKS, an enterprise rooted in sustainable agriculture and organic farming, offers a solution to these challenges. By providing high-quality, protein-rich feed for livestock and producing organic fertilizer, SEEA WORKS supports both agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability. The enterprise uses organic waste, which is processed by black soldier fly larvae, to create an affordable and nutritious feed that can replace traditional, expensive sources like soybean, fish meal, and animal blood. Additionally, the production of larvae offers a sustainable alternative that not only supports food security but also promotes a cleaner environment. Alongside the larvae, SEEA WORKS produces frass, a nutrient-rich organic fertilizer that can replace chemical alternatives, offering farmers a cost-effective solution for enhancing soil health and crop yields. Through its innovative approach, SEEA WORKS is helping to transform poultry farming in the region by making it more affordable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly.
