Why it matters
The investment is intended to strengthen Olam Agri’s animal feed operations in West Africa. By establishing production capacity closer to customers in the South-South and South-East, the company aims to improve access to quality animal feed and support the productivity of livestock farmers.
Delta State had previously allocated land for the feed plant, leading to Olam Agri discussing expansion plans.
