With this empowerment project, beneficiaries received training on optimal bird care from Amo Farm’s National Sales Coordinator for Noiler, Olayinka Akorede. Noiler which is an innovation of Amo Farm not only offers a viable source of income but also provides an essential source of animal protein, particularly beneficial for children’s immune system, brain development, and overall health.

Its hardy nature, delicious taste, and ability to thrive on kitchen waste make it perfect for low-resource farmers. Adaptable to diverse environments, the Noiler empowers communities by boosting food security, income, and sustainability. She further explained that the Noiler birds are Dual-Purpose for both egg and meat production.

“The female Noiler will start laying eggs at 20-22 weeks, supporting their feeding and income generation,” explained Ms. Akorede. “The Male Noiler can be consumed at 14-16 weeks.”

Amo Farm’s Business Development Manager, Mrs. Itoro Awala-Ale, further committed to assisting the Lagos State beneficiaries through extension services and support throughout their Noiler poultry ventures and they were each connected to a Farmer Satisfaction Representative. This builds on the company’s existing support of over 1.3 million small-holder farmers through Noiler farming.

The Noiler bird’s rapid adoption for state empowerment programs is evident. Recently, Bauchi State partnered with an NGO to empower 300 women with 20 Noiler chicks each, while others have expressed interest in following suit.

Amo Farm, led by Dr. Ayoola Oduntan and producing over a million chicks per week, remains dedicated to agricultural innovation that enhances food security and fulfills the nutritional needs of the people.
