Amo Farm Sieberer Hatchery Limited has underscored its unwavering commitment to enhancing family health and well-being, marking this year’s International Day of Families with a renewed focus on nutrition and community empowerment. Renowned for its significant contributions to Nigeria’s agricultural sector and women empowerment initiatives, the company continues to play a pivotal role in improving the lives of families across the country through its innovative poultry products.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Ayoola Oduntan, Group Managing Director of Amo Farm, highlighted the importance of the 2024 International Day of Families theme, “Embracing Diversity, Strengthening Families.” This theme, he noted, aligns seamlessly with the company’s mission to foster family health and raise awareness of critical issues affecting families. Dr Oduntan emphasised that Amo Farm’s ongoing efforts are particularly focused on combating child stunting and addressing malnutrition through the provision of nutritious poultry products.
Among Amo Farm’s key innovations is the Noiler Bird, a dual-purpose poultry breed developed through extensive research. This breed, which closely resembles native chicken in appearance and taste, offers significant advantages including disease resistance and enhanced productivity. The Noiler Bird produces four times more eggs and three times more meat than traditional chickens, making it an essential source of protein for Nigerian families and a powerful tool in the fight against malnutrition.
Amo Farm’s impact extends beyond nutrition, contributing substantially to socio-economic development across Nigeria. The company’s poverty reduction initiatives have been recognised by the Harvard Business Review, underscoring its role in empowering over 1.3 million rural households, with a particular focus on women. By boosting income and food security, these initiatives are driving overall community development and enhancing the quality of life for countless families.
In line with its commitment to family and community welfare, Amo Farm recently supported the South-West Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) Women Agricultural Support Programme. As part of this initiative, the company donated 1,000 Noiler Birds, 100 bags of 12.5 kg Amo Byng Grower Pellet, and 100 packs of Divertamin—a nutrient blend essential for Noiler Birds. These contributions were provided as start-up packs for 100 women, aimed at fostering small agribusiness ventures and enhancing local agricultural practices.
Amo Farm Sieberer Hatchery Limited continues to lead the way in advancing family health and agricultural innovation in Nigeria. By celebrating the International Day of Families with a focus on nutrition and community support, the company reaffirms its dedication to improving the lives of Nigerians through its products and initiatives. With a strong emphasis on empowering women and enhancing food security, Amo Farm’s efforts significantly contribute to individual well-being and broader societal progress.
