CHI Farms Marks Two Decades of Partnership with Aviagen
CHI Farms Limited, a leading integrated agribusiness company in Nigeria and member of Tropical General Investments (TGI) Group is marking 20 years of partnership with Aviagen, the global poultry breeding
Nigeria's poultry industry, one of the largest in Africa, has long relied on foreign genetics companies for parent stock and breeding technology, as local hatcheries have historically struggled to develop competitive broiler and layer lines. Partnerships between domestic agribusinesses and global breeders like Aviagen, a major player in poultry genetics supplying breeding stock worldwide, have shaped how Nigerian farms access improved bird strains meant to boost yields, disease resistance and feed efficiency.
CHI Farms, part of the diversified Tropical General Investments (TGI) Group, is one of Nigeria's established integrated agribusiness operators spanning poultry and related value chains. Both ThisDay and BusinessDay frame the 20-year tie-up with Aviagen as a milestone anniversary for the companies' supply relationship, though neither report details specific investment figures, production volumes, or new agreements arising from the milestone, leaving the practical business impact of the anniversary unclear beyond the symbolic marking of two decades of collaboration.
