Olam Agri Strategically Addresses Nigeria's Protein Deficiency Through Poultry Feed Production

Olam Agri is actively working to address Nigeria's significant protein deficiency issue, with the country's meat consumption per capita at only 15kg compared to the global average of 64kg. The company's Director of Corporate Regulatory Affairs, Sameer Wadhera, emphasizes the importance of bridging this protein gap to prevent malnutrition and ensure Nigeria's demographic dividend.

Olam Agri's strategic focus on the poultry feed sector involves enhancing efficiency, stabilizing markets, and improving feed-to-protein conversion ratios. By scaling up poultry feed production, Olam Agri aims to contribute significantly to the nation's livestock sector, providing essential support to millions of smallholder poultry farmers.

The company's commitment extends to increasing the availability of quality day-old chicks, fortifying feeds, and ultimately bringing Nigeria's egg and meat consumption levels closer to global averages by 2026.
