Big Dutchman East Africa continues to expand its operations across the region, serving poultry and pig producers in 10 countries from its Nairobi headquarters. With over 12 years of proven success in Kenya and growing demand for professional production systems across Uganda, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Rwanda, the company is investing in local support infrastructure to bring world-class farming technology closer to East African producers.
Building on the global expertise of the Big Dutchman group — 85 years of innovation in livestock equipment — the East Africa team provides turnkey solutions from farm design to commissioning, backed by 24/7 after-sales support. Every installation is engineered to deliver measurable results, with farmers consistently achieving survival rates exceeding 97% and generating KES 12 million or more in annual profit from well-managed operations.
At the heart of every Big Dutchman production system is precision technology. The ViperTouch climate computer gives farmers complete, real-time control over house temperature, humidity, and ventilation — critical in East Africa’s varied climatic zones from coastal Mombasa to highland Nairobi. Paired with the FLUXX chain feeding system, which delivers uniform feed distribution across the entire house length, producers achieve optimal feed conversion and consistent flock performance from day one.
Tying it all together is BigFarmNet, Big Dutchman’s proprietary farm management software. BigFarmNet enables producers to monitor and control every house from a single dashboard — tracking feed consumption, water intake, climate parameters, and bird performance in real time. For multi-house and multi-site operations, BigFarmNet transforms complex data into actionable insights that drive profitability.
East Africa’s poultry market is experiencing unprecedented growth, driven by rising urban populations, increasing protein demand, and a shift toward professionally managed production. Kenya alone consumes over 100 million broilers annually, yet local production still falls short of demand. Uganda, Ethiopia, and Tanzania are following similar trajectories. Big Dutchman East Africa is positioned at the centre of this transformation, providing the production systems that enable farmers to meet this growing demand at commercial scale and international quality standards.
“Our commitment to East Africa goes beyond selling equipment,” said a Big Dutchman East Africa spokesperson. “We are building long-term partnerships with farmers who want to professionalise their operations and achieve consistent, profitable production. From day-old chick placement to market-ready birds, our systems — powered by ViperTouch climate control, FLUXX feeding, and BigFarmNet management — deliver results.”
Big Dutchman East Africa operates from its headquarters on Mombasa Road, Nairobi, with a network of agents and sales representatives across the region. The company offers complete production systems for broiler farming, egg production, pig farming, and feed milling, with entry-level investments starting from approximately USD 150,000.
