THIALALA EGG CIRCLE (PTY) LTD
𝗘𝗴𝗴 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿
𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝:
Thialala Egg Circle (Pty) Ltd is a subsidiary of Thialala Farmers Association, an organization composed of poultry farmers engaged in egg production. In response to market access challenges faced by its members, the Association established Thialala Egg Circle to serve as an aggregation and value chain coordination platform.
The company’s primary focus is not only on the collection and sale of eggs, but also on strengthening the entire egg production value chain. Through this model, Thialala Egg Circle supports member farmers in improving the quality and marketability of their eggs by offering technical assistance, inputs, and access to services.
Beyond aggregating eggs from its members, the company also manages its own flock of point-of-lay chickens, producing eggs directly for the market. In addition, Thialala Egg Circle operates a complementary initiative that purchases day-old chicks, rears them to point-of-lay stage, and sells them to farmers. It also supplies poultry-related inputs such as feed, vaccines, and equipment – improving accessibility and efficiency within the sector.
To support and strengthen its operations, Thialala Egg Circle is seeking to recruit an Egg Circle Manager to oversee daily operations with a strong focus on leadership and agri-business development. The ideal candidate will be a qualified professional with proven management and leadership skills to drive operational efficiency and sustainability as well as background in poultry management.
