From Khartoum to the World: A Legacy of Nutrition and Resilience

Samil Industries was founded in 2011 in Khartoum, Sudan, with a clear humanitarian mission: to produce lifesaving nutritional solutions for children suffering from malnutrition. As a member of the PlumpyField® network, Samil partnered with Nutriset, the French family-owned company behind Plumpy’Nut® — the world’s first Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF).

From its inception, Samil quickly became a key supplier of RUTF and RUSF to humanitarian organizations across the region.

About Us

Delivering Regional Impact

Before the outbreak of conflict in Sudan, Samil operated a state-of-the-art facility with a monthly production capacity of 600 metric tons. In 2021, Samil successfully exported nutrition products to several countries facing high malnutrition burdens, including:

  • South Sudan
  • Chad
  • Yemen
  • Uganda

These exports supported emergency nutrition programs led by global ngo’s, affirming Samil’s role as a trusted partner in regional health and humanitarian efforts.

Conflict and Comeback

In 2023, Sudan’s civil conflict brought widespread devastation — including the destruction of Samil’s facility in Khartoum. But from crisis came opportunity.

Rather than retreat, we chose to rebuild — stronger, safer, and more resilient.

Samil is now constructing a new production facility in the Suez Canal Free Zone, Egypt. This factory is designed to meet international standards, strengthen regional supply chains, and serve millions of children across Africa and the Middle East.

Factory Launch Announcement

Our new Egypt factory will be fully operational by August 2025.

Factory Launch Announcement

Samil combines deep Sudanese roots, international partnerships, and a mission-driven approach to build a future free from child malnutrition. We are proud to stand with communities, smallholder farmers, and global organizations to deliver hope — one nutritious sachet at a time.

At Samil, nutrition starts on the farm. That’s why we’re deeply invested in local agriculture.

Supporting Smallholder Farmers in Sudan

Through Samil’s agricultural program, we support Sudanese smallholder farmers with seeds, training, and market access to grow essential crops like peanuts, sorghum, and wheat. This not only improves food security but strengthens local economies.

Sustainability

High-Oleic Peanuts: The Future of Nutrition

We are introducing High-Oleic (HO) peanut varieties in Sudan — a game-changing crop with improved oil quality, longer shelf life, and enhanced health benefits for children. Once we scale local production, Samil will begin using these Sudan-grown HO peanuts in our Egypt factory, creating a fully integrated and sustainable value chain.
