AMO Farm Sieberer Hatchery Limited, producers of Noiler dual-purpose chicken breed (for both meat and eggs), has reiterated its commitment to improve rural protein consumption and create a sustainable source of income for rural women in Africa.

In its 63rd independence anniversary message to the country, the firm, a major driver of small-scale poultry farming with critical roles in ensuring food security and nutrition, vowed to continue to boost Federal Government’s stance on food security for the well-being of the citizenry.

The Group Managing Director of Amo Farm Sieberer Hatchery Limited, Dr Ayoola Oduntan, who reiterated his company’s commitment to the provision of affordable food protein to Nigerians through agricultural initiatives, declared his company’s total support for the Federal Government food security initiative and the state of emergency recently declared to address food sufficiency in Nigeria.

He added that the occasion of Nigeria’s independence celebration should resonate “with our patriotism and rededication to our national developmental goals, which our company is entirely committed to through agricultural initiatives that would erase the traits of malnutrition in Nigeria.”

Oduntan stated the well-being of Nigerians should be a collective effort by government and private sector to achieve the desired impact, considering the enormous task involved.

“This challenge has inspired Amo Farm’s strategic role in supporting 1.4 smallholder farmers in Nigeria and Africa to partake in small-scale poultry farming in Noiler, the dual purpose yield high-quality chicken,” he said.
