In every city in Côte d'Ivoire, farmers are looking for reliable chicks without knowing where to order. Between them and the hatchery, there is a place to be filled: that of the reseller. Here’s how to start this business, and what NEXTEKCI offers its partners.
The business: being the local link of the hatchery
The reseller buys day-old chicks in bulk, then resells them to farmers in their area, often in smaller quantities. Their added value: proximity, availability, and local trust. The testimony of a distributor from Abidjan on the NEXTEKCI site sums it up well: "the regularity of deliveries on Monday and Thursday allows me to plan. Consistent quality, well-identified boxes. My clients are satisfied, and so am I."
What NEXTEKCI offers its resellers
- discounts on large volumes and reseller conditions, specified with an advisor according to quantities;
- two fixed departures per week — Monday and Thursday at 10 PM — which allow for planning activities in line with arrivals on Tuesday and Friday;
- boxes of 50 identified chicks: traceability reassures your own clients;
- six breeds to offer: white broiler, red broiler, barred grey, hybrid, white cockerel, and brown layer — enough to meet all the profiles of farmers in your area;
- technical support that you can relay: start-up advice, micro-guides J0–J7.
The qualities that make a good reseller
- Reliability: your clients organise their chick-rearing around your word — heat on, room ready. A reseller who disappoints does not resell twice.
- A minimum of technical knowledge: knowing how to explain warm water, dry litter, and reading behaviour makes you an advisor, not just a simple intermediary.
- Clean logistics: timely collection at the handover point, short and careful final journeys to deliver healthy chicks.
- Transparency: work with official numbers, clear payments, and commitments kept.
How to start concretely?
Start with your own area: survey the farmers around you, estimate the demand by breed, then contact NEXTEKCI to discuss volumes, conditions, and schedule. Many resellers started as satisfied farmers who took orders for their neighbours.
