About the partnership

Niger
Staple Crops

AVINIGER aims to replace the import of yellow maize from Bobo-Dioulasso (Burkina Faso), a raw material for the production of feed for livestock and poultry, with locally produced corn. The aim is to develop a sustainable local supply system for yellow maize, by involving cooperatives active in the various production basins of the Niger and providing them with quality livestock feed that willimprove their productivity. The goal is to source 5,000 tons of corn per year from local producers to meet the company's production needs. Local sourcing will reduce raw material acquisition and production costs, while making it cheaper and more competitive in the market.

About the business champion

AVINIGER is a poultry industrial complex built in 2018. It has a capacity of 150,000 laying hens and a poultry and livestock feed factory of 6 tons per hour. With an estimated herd of 42,789,000 head, the low availability of pasture due to climatic hazards and the lack of industrial production of quality livestock and poultry feed are two major obstacles to the development of livestock in Niger. AVINIGER works to produce livestock and poultry feed based on cereals of good nutritional quality and accessible to small local farmers.
