In a bold step toward strengthening food security and expanding our agricultural footprint, Amo Farm Sieberer Hatchery Ltd. has acquired 1,800 acres of farm from UAC of Nigeria PLC in Maya, Ibarapa Local Government, Oyo State. Finalized on March 4, 2025, this milestone marks a new chapter in our journey toward sustainable farming, increased livestock production, and rural development.

This investment will drive large-scale broiler and beef production, establish processing plants, and develop modern infrastructure to enhance efficiency and productivity. It will also support seed multiplication, ruminant feed production, and farmer training programs, all aimed at improving food security, creating employment, and empowering local communities. At the official launch event, our Group Managing Director Dr. Ayoola Oduntan emphasized that the development would create a self-sustaining agricultural ecosystem designed to strengthen Nigeria’s livestock sector. Representing UAC of Nigeria PLC, Mr. Obinna Ede highlighted the strong role of the local community in agricultural success and expressed confidence in Amo Farm’s expansion in the area.

Attendees were given a tour of the vast farmland, providing them with an overview of its potential for seed multiplication, ruminant feed production, broiler and beef production, and farmer training. The tour offered insight into the company’s vision for the land and strategic plans for its utilization. To mark the beginning of this new chapter, a symbolic tree-planting exercise was led by Dr. Ayoola Oduntan. This act represented growth, sustainability, and the long-term success of the farm, reinforcing our commitment to environmental stewardship and agricultural transformation.

The event was attended by key industry players, financial partners, government officials, and traditional rulers, including the Baale of Maya, Baale Kareem Oyedotun, and the Jagun of Maya Land, Hon. Lateef Odediran. Both leaders welcomed our presence and pledged their support for the expansion while encouraging job creation and community engagement.

This acquisition reinforces our commitment to providing affordable, high-quality animal protein for Nigerians while driving economic growth and sustainable farming practices. It is a major step forward in our mission to transform agriculture and strengthen Nigeria’s food security. The journey continues, and together, we are building a stronger future for the industry.

On February 28, 2025, Amo Farm Sieberer Hatchery marked a significant milestone with the official commissioning of the New Noiler Hatchery at our premises in Awe, Oyo State. This state-of-the-art facility, with a capacity of over 2.5 million Day-Old Chicks per month, reinforces our commitment to improving food security and making high-quality protein more accessible across Nigeria.

Noiler is a dual-purpose bird, bred for both meat and egg production, making it an excellent choice for smallholder farmers and households looking for a sustainable and reliable protein source. With this expansion, more Nigerians will have access to high-quality Noiler chickens, supporting better nutrition and economic growth.

Speaking at the event, Dr. Anand Burra, Managing Director, Amo Farm, highlighted the role of the new hatchery in increasing protein consumption, ensuring that more households can access affordable and nutritious Noiler chickens. He emphasized that this expansion is a crucial step toward meeting the growing demand for Noilers while maintaining the highest industry standards.

In his remarks, Dr. Ayoola Oduntan, Group Managing Director, charged the team with ensuring that every chick leaving the hatchery meets the highest quality standards that Amo Farm is known for. He further underscored the impact of this milestone on Nigeria’s poultry industry, stating that with this facility, there will be more Noiler chickens, which translates to higher-quality meat and eggs for consumers nationwide.

A key moment of the event was the official ribbon-cutting ceremony, performed by Dr. Ayoola Oduntan, marking the formal commencement of operations at the new hatchery. Guests were then taken on an exclusive tour of the facility, where they had the opportunity to see firsthand the advanced technology and systems designed to enhance efficiency, chick health, and overall production capacity.

The commissioning event was graced by several key stakeholders, including Dr. Sunil, General Manager, Amo Farm; Mr. Emmanuel Oloruntoba, Director of Supply Chain; Mr. Olusegun Akande, Head of Internal Audit; and Mr. Victor Alabi, HR Business Partner, Amo Farm, alongside other esteemed guests and company representatives who joined in celebrating this momentous occasion.

With the launch of this new hatchery, Amo Farm is taking bold strides in driving sustainable agriculture and improving access to affordable protein. This expansion means more opportunities for farmers, better nutrition for families, and a stronger poultry industry in Nigeria.

As we commence operations, we remain committed to innovation, quality, and excellence, ensuring that the Noiler continues to be a game-changer for smallholder farmers and consumers alike.

Here is to the next phase of growth.
