EMPOWERING AFRICAN COMMUNITIES, ONE CHICKEN AT A TIME

Established in 2010, Africa Poultry Development Group is the largest integrated poultry player in East and Central Africa.

The entities that make up the Group represent decades of experience, creating robust brands that have become household names in their territories of operation.

The Group is fully integrated across the entire poultry value chain, enjoying market leading positions
in its key commercial product categories: feed, day old chicks, processed chicken, and other processed products.

VISION

To be the Chicken of Choice in all our markets.

KEY CORPORATE PILLARS

PEOPLE

We maintain a workplace culture that prioritizes staff engagement, opportunities for career growth and a shared sense of ownership.

EFFICIENCY

We manage our operations to be competitive, in terms of both price to customer and minimal wastage.

CUSTOMERS

We build lasting customer relationships by delivering the best solutions in a spirit of partnership.

HEALTH

We produce healthy poultry products through strict adherence to the highest standards of biosecurity, traceability, animal welfare and food safety.

KEY OPERATIONAL PILLARS

Genetics Supply

The grandparent operations underpin our business. The supply of parent stock in the group is secured in its two highly biosecure grand parent facilities in Zambia and Tanzania, to ensure business continuity.

The grandparent facility in Zambia hosts both a farm and a hatchery, located on a 2,600 hectare estate. The facility produces both broiler and layer parent stock for the group and other stakeholders.
The GP facility in Tanzania is a joint venture with Aviagen, a leading genetic supplier that produces broiler parent stock for the region.

Traceability

APD operates a robust ‘Farm to Fork’ philosophy: the product journey is very closely monitored to ensure that every morsel of food supplied by the group can be traced back through the value chain to its parent and grandparent origins.

Biosecurity

We prioritize biosecurity by ensuring that our sites are located in isolated areas, far from human habitation. This not only protects our chickens from outside contaminants, but also guarantees that the poultry products we provide are of the highest quality and safe for consumption.
