Company profile
researched Aug 2026Vetsark Limited is a technology company serving farmers and agribusinesses in Africa, positioning itself at the intersection of agricultural finance and poultry supply-chain operations. Its stated purpose is to help farms access finance, raise productivity and improve profitability, using technology to link farmers with financial institutions through loan origination, credit scoring and loan monitoring, alongside help sourcing inputs and selling output at fair prices.
Operationally, the company runs what it calls the Prosperity Model, a network of partner poultry farms raising birds in two-month cycles across multiple sites. Vetsark centrally coordinates chicks, feed, vaccines and health management so batches meet a common standard before being frozen and shipped, tracks farm operations and compliance, aggregates supply, and works with cold-chain partners to distribute frozen chicken to buyers on schedule. Farmers in the network receive guaranteed offtake and guaranteed farm-gate prices, with shared ownership intended to reduce price shocks and remove intermediary markups.
A supporting software layer keeps participants aligned: it monitors farm performance across cycles, tracks feed and health interventions, shows real-time inventory and bird maturity, syncs sales data with offtake teams, and automatically calculates farmer repayments and earnings. A downloadable Vetsark application is offered.
Founding story
Blessing Mene is cofounder and CEO of Vetsark, described as a financial technology company helping African farmers access capital and other tools to grow their businesses. Mene holds a bachelor's degree in chemistry and education from Ahmadu Bello University in Nigeria and a master's in entrepreneurship and innovation from Valencia International University and Rome Business School Nigeria, and has been recognized with the Google Impact Challenge Public Choice Prize for his work in Nigeria and as a 2020 Goalkeepers Rebuilder by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Business model
Vetsark aggregates poultry production across partner farms rather than relying solely on owned capacity. Farm partners with a secure site can join the Prosperity Network and access up to 70% of production cost, while Vetsark centrally supplies and standardizes inputs (chicks, feed, vaccines, health management) and takes on sales, logistics and collections. Offtake is guaranteed to farmers, and the resulting frozen chicken is distributed to buyers via cold-chain partners. In parallel, the company describes a fintech platform for loan origination, credit scoring and loan monitoring that connects farmers and agribusinesses with financial institutions, plus input sourcing and product sales support.
Latest developments
