Demand for dual-purpose poultry (DPP) on the African continent is growing. Two-thirds of the companies we surveyed reported rising sales in 2025, and 94 percent of those selling at the start of the year were still selling at the end.

So what’s holding the sector back? Not appetite. Companies pointed to unreliable power, limited access to financing, and unsteady vaccine supply. These challenges are real, and they are also solvable.

Happy World Egg Day from all of us at the World Poultry Foundation!
Today we’re celebrating the small-scale producers whose hard work puts eggs on tables and income in pockets. Every egg represents a meal for a family, a sale at market, and a step toward a stronger future.

This week, our Board of Directors came together for our biannual meeting.

Our Board's involvement goes well beyond the meeting room. Several members have traveled to visit our programs, meeting farmers, field teams, and partners to see the work firsthand. That connection shapes the guidance they bring to every conversation about where we go next.

Thank you to our Board for your time, your curiosity, and your commitment to the farmers we serve.

Building a poultry value chain means building connections, from farmers and field teams to markets and consumers.

Poultry News Africa recently looked at how that's taking shape in Madagascar, where our partners at Farmshop Madagascar are expanding the Kômbô Madagascar retail network while using radio, television, and local advertising to introduce more people to dual-purpose poultry and what it can offer.

Improved birds are only part of it. Farmers also need reliable chick supply, a market within reach, and consumers who know the product.

Between 213 and 225 million dual-purpose day-old chicks were sold across the continent in 2025.

Our new report, State of the Industry: Dual-Purpose Poultry in Africa, is the first to measure this market at scale. Drawing on data from 72 companies in 33 countries, it gives the sector a baseline to measure its growth against, year on year.

1,200 poultry farmers in Senegal are about to tell us how the PMI program is really going.

Working alongside Couvoir Amar, our team recently helped prepare a survey that gives farmers the chance to share their experiences and shows us how the PMI program is working on the ground.

Listening, learning, and adapting are all part of building stronger poultry systems together.

For the first time, we set out to answer a simple question: how big is the dual-purpose poultry market across the African continent?

Our findings are coming soon, with a first look at how many chicks are sold, where demand is growing, and what it will take to reach more small-scale producers.

Watch this space for the sector's first baseline.

Hamara has played an important role in expanding access to DPP across Zimbabwe and demonstrating the opportunities these birds can offer rural farmers, from meat and egg production to greater income potential.

We're proud of Hamara's work and glad to see their commitment to DPP continuing beyond WPF funding.

WPF's poultry training in Lesotho was designed to keep going after the training ends.

Through our partnership there, we've supported training that builds practical skills and local expertise, and equipped trainers and local partners with resources they can keep sharing within their own communities.
