De l’idée à l’impact · AGROVITA — From the land to value

What our name says

Experience as a compass, innovation as an engine.

XP stands for experience: of projects, of the field, of real constraints, of the unexpected, of costs and deadlines. It is our compass. NOVA stands for innovation: the search for solutions that are more effective, more accessible and better suited. It is our engine. Innovation is not a technology imported without adaptation: it builds on experience, answers a concrete need and produces measurable results.

Where we come from

XP-NOVA comes from infrastructure engineering: trades in which nothing is built before water, energy, logistics, schedules, suppliers and compliance have been worked through.

Its AGROVITA division applies that rigour to agricultural, livestock and agro-industrial projects — where those questions are too often dealt with after the fact.

These trades demand rigour at every step: understanding the need, studying feasibility, designing, costing, planning, organising supplies, coordinating those involved, controlling quality and keeping to deadlines. That is the method we transfer to agricultural projects.

14 engineering assignments led by our founder in 4 countries, from 1989 to 2025.

What we do
  • Structure a project on its technical, operational and financial sides.
  • Identify, assess and allocate risks before funds are committed.
  • Prepare studies, budgets, schedules and financing files.
  • Draft specifications, support the choice of suppliers, monitor cost, time and quality.
  • Coordinate those involved: producers, processors, buyers, funders, local authorities.
What we do not do

We do not present ourselves as a long-standing agricultural producer, nor as a substitute for agronomists and veterinarians. We bring the method, the coordination and the control of risk, and we mobilise the value-chain expertise each assignment requires.

A team in three circles

Agricultural projects are multidisciplinary. We do not claim to do everything alone: we structure, coordinate and follow up, mobilising the expertise each assignment requires.

1A permanent core

Small and versatile, it carries the judgement, the client relationship and responsibility for deliverables. It is built in stages, at the pace of the activity.

2Associate experts

Agronomy and soil science, animal husbandry and health, process and cold-chain engineering, financial analysis, land and OHADA law, geomatics: mobilised per assignment, under framework agreements.

3Field relays

Surveyors, technicians and correspondents recruited close to the sites, by production basin.

Management. Josten Magloire Wandji, Managing Director, is an engineer. He has thirty-seven years of experience in the engineering of infrastructure and public-facility projects.

Our commitments
Independence

No commission from any credit institution, supplier or seller. We are paid by the project holder, for engineering work.

No dual role

Whoever writes a study does not review it: the review is entrusted to a separate reviewer.

Transparency

Financial models are handed over unlocked. Every external figure carries its source and date; what could not be verified is written as such.

Firm prices

Two divisions, one firm

AGROVITA handles agricultural, livestock and agro-industrial investment projects. The ODT division handles territorial development, infrastructure and value chains at the scale of a territory. The two work together when a project requires it.
