Impacting Lives
Our big goal? To improve nutrition and economic livelihoods by reaching 100 million people by 2030 through the production, promotion, and consumption of poultry.
The result? Farmers prosper. Families eat. Business thrives. Communities flourish. And these results are sustained through self-sufficiency, improved economic conditions and healthier people.
Where we’re making an impact
