Who we are
Building durable productive infrastructure in Cameroon
Incorporated on 27 April 2021 before Maître Gilbert NKENE ENDONG, Notary in Yaoundé, Zeideal Group is a Cameroonian group (holding) bringing together a consortium of eight shareholding companies with complementary expertise: agriculture, real estate, fisheries cooperative, media, engineering, and services. This diversity of skills allows the Group to structure its operations to the standards of leading consultancies and international lenders, with a focus on vertical integration, multi-regional territorial anchoring, and operational sustainability. We are currently developing a flagship project, PROAQUI — an integrated agro-industrial and aquaculture complex carried by our subsidiary ZEIAQUA-INDUSTRIE SA, a project company under incorporation — and preparing complementary developments in our sectors of interest.

Our approach
Three structuring principles
Our methodology for industrial project execution rests on three founding principles, applied without exception across all Group operations.
Principle 02
Territorial anchoring
Multi-regional implementation preferred to mono-site concentration. Creation of local jobs, partnerships with riparian communities, structural contribution to national and CEMAC food sovereignty.
Principle 03
International standards
Systematic alignment with IFC Performance Standards, the global technical standards of each industry, and the transparency requirements of institutional lenders. No compromise on rigor.
Financing round in progress
