SOVAN’s mission goes beyond production. The company plays an important role in strengthening local agricultural value chains by transforming raw maize into high-value products for both industry and consumers.
By sourcing raw materials locally, SOVAN supports farmers and helps build a more organized and reliable supply chain. This approach improves market access for farmers and increases the value of agricultural production in Burundi.
Located in Gitega province, SOVAN’s facility in Rutegama shows a strong commitment to local development. The company creates jobs and supports economic activity in the actual Kiganda commune and surrounding areas.
SOVAN also reflects regional integration within the East African Community (EAC). The company employs people from Burundi as well as from neighboring countries like Tanzania and Kenya. This diverse team helps share skills, improve expertise, and create job opportunities across the region.
Through efficient processing, SOVAN reduces post-harvest losses and ensures that its products meet the standards required by industrial clients and consumers.
By connecting farmers to markets and working with talent from across the region, SOVAN helps build a stronger and more competitive agricultural system.
