Amo Byng Nigeria Limited, a leading producer of poultry feed and concentrates, has commenced a strategic partnership with the Kwara State Government to bolster local soybean production to address the current shortage that is impacting poultry feed production across the country.
Indeed, this collaboration was formally launched in a bid to marked a significant step towards revitalising the soybean industry in the country which is very germane and critical for the poultry industry.
Specifically, the soybean shortage has led to increased feed production costs for poultry farming, as much of the country’s soybeans are being exported.
In response, Amo Byng Nig Limited is stepping in to support local farmers by providing essential farming inputs and committing to purchase the soybean at harvest.
This initiative aims to stimulate local production, improve raw material availability, and reduce production costs.
As part of this pilot program, Amo Byng Nig Limited has equipped 300 farmers with inputs to cultivate soybean across 1,500 hectares in the Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State.
The programme encompasses four communities within the local government area. In support of this initiative, the Kwara State Government has allocated tractors to assist farmers with land preparation, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the farming process..
While speaking on the soybean production initiative, the Group Managing Director of Amo Byng Nigeria Limited, Dr. Ayoola Oduntan, emphasised the importance of the partnership, saying:
“Addressing the soybean shortage is crucial for the poultry industry, as it directly impacts feed production. This partnership is vital for providing farmers with the necessary inputs and ensuring the purchase of their harvest.
Our goal is to stimulate local production and alleviate the raw material shortage.” In his remarks, the Managing Director of Amo Byng Nigeria Limited, Dr. Ayoola Belgore, highlighted the broader vision of the initiative.
He said: “While this pilot program marks a significant step forward, our vision extends beyond this initial phase. We are committed to expanding its reach and bringing its benefits to other states in the near future.”
Similarly, the Head of Business at Amo Byng Nigeria Limited, Mr. Adedamola Adeyeye, underscored the comprehensive support provided to farmers.
According to him, “alongside providing essential inputs, we are dedicated to offering technical support and training throughout the production period to ensure farmers are well equipped for success.”
Meanwhile, the Kwara State Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, Mrs. Oloruntoyosi Thomas, expressed appreciation to the company and reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to supporting the project and local farmers.
The event also saw the presence of key stakeholders, including, Mrs. Funke Sokoya, Permanent Secretary, Kwara State Ministry of Agriculture, Mr. Shuib Alawaye, Coordinator of Farmers Group, and Mr. Solomon Olawoyin, Kwara State Chairman of the Soybean Growers Association.
