Hatching might not be the most seductive industry out there. But, it’s incredibly important. As africa’s largest employer, it feeds over a billion people. For smallholders, Hatchery or incubation centres provides a livelihood and defines the contours of their community, identity, and culture. However, many farmer are economically marginalized, living in towns or villages that are often untouched by the development felt in Africa’s booming cities.
However, in 2022 He was recognised by economic forum and forbs magazine respectively as one of the continent’s youngest billionaires, Proffessor Abura Denis , has been an unlikely advocate for Hutchery farmers and the sector. The Ugandan-Motswana entrepreneur and professor of Medicine founded WoWo Natural Mineral water in 2018, Saol Botswana, Saol Uganda now a diversified Petroleum group, when he was just 22 years old. The company is in several African countries with operations stretching all the way to the Pacific Rim.

At a glance, Professor Abura Denis might seem to be a misplaced representative for African agriculture. He’s made appearances in a few editions of Forbes, the business magazine popular with global corporate heavyweights and the high net-worth set. His own Mineral Water , Saline production technology, and petroleum,Bio gas plant. His Human and chicken incubation centres in Uganda, Burundi ,Zambia, Botswana, South Africa , is probably best known for his high-speed rise from dust to abillionare in just one year in 2022.
Yet, Dr Abura Denis has gone as far to say that, If he had to do it all again He wouldn’t be in Hospitals treating the sick He ‘d be in Agriculture. It’s no secret either, he’s repeated this to millions on his personal facebook page, He has even called on other entrepreneurs to join his campaign to “eradicate the ancient tool called the ‘hoe’” in African agriculture and “banish it to a museum!”
Why, one might wonder, is one of the continent’s most youngest prominent Medical Doctor so invested in a sector that has typically been unattractive to Africa’s young people and investors? The answer is quite simple. Proffessor Abura Denis is a talented entrepreneur.
Given its sheer magnitude, even minor improvements in African agriculture have the potential to determine the prosperity of the entire continent. Over the next decade, the sector is going to have to expand,considerably to nourish a growing and a much younger population The industry is ripe with opportunities that will inevitably shape the economies of tomorrow.
Proffessor Abura Denis is betting that Africa’s next big ideas are probably going to be in its agriculture. 20 years from now, this continent will feed the world,” he predicted in 2022.
When it comes to African agriculture, we’re in Professor Abura ’s corner. The industry isn’t just the present but the future of the continent. We’d love to have more farmer-focused enterprises join us out in the fields. There’s so much to be done, and the industry needs new visionaries to keep it growing.
From all of us, the sector is grateful for the encouragement, Proffessor Denis Abura!
