Meet the
Chegus Group.
Chegus Group has been actively involved in the African market since 2008, primarily engaged in the trading, export, and import of agro commodities like Raw Cashew Nuts, Sesame, Coffee, Rice, and Sugar. Until April 2019, the group had an outsourcing agreement with a Swiss multinational, which was not renewed due to a change in the multinational's structure.Seizing this opportunity, Chegus Group took a hiatus from outsourcing, reevaluated its business strategies, and made significant investments in value addition.
In 2019 and the first half of 2020, Chegus Burkina Faso invested approximately USD 2 million in establishing and operationalizing a Sesame Cleaning and Sorting plant. The group also partnered with an Austrian multinational, a Singapore-based trading company, and a German company for outsourcing commodities and securing a supply of sesame.
