Reviving Rural Potential: The Aldeia Nova Turnaround
Objective
To revitalize the Aldeia Nova Project in Wako Kungo, a smallholder-based agro-initiative comprising multiple farmer villages engaged in poultry and dairy production, managed through an Agro-Industrial Center serving local communities.
Vision
To restore profitability, improve operational efficiency, and transform Aldeia Nova into a sustainable, market-oriented model that delivers long-term benefits for farmers, the Agro-Industrial Center, and the surrounding region.
Challenges
- Declining profitability due to changes in the business environment.
- A production-oriented approach with limited focus on modern marketing or diversified revenue streams.
- Need for structural adjustments and scalable crop production to support financial sustainability.
Planning Process
JSpenser undertook a comprehensive site survey and operational analysis, engaging management and stakeholders to assess the current situation and define viable turnaround strategies.
Key steps included:
- Evaluating existing poultry, dairy, and crop production systems.
- Identifying new scale-oriented crop opportunities to complement existing operations.
- Repositioning the project from production-focused to market-driven, with modern marketing strategies at the core.
Solutions & Outcomes
The strategic assessment produced a turnaround plan focused on:
- Structural reorganization to improve efficiency.
- Introduction of scale-oriented crops to diversify income streams.
- Development of market-focused sales strategies to strengthen profitability.
The Aldeia Nova Project is now positioned for long-term sustainability, with a stronger market presence, improved production systems, and a renewed contribution to the Wako Kungo farming community.
