Pas Reform's incubation technologies to support Gambian poultry farm
Pas Reform's Smart™ incubation technologies will be employed in the operations of a new poultry farm in the Gambia in West Africa.
The Farato Hatchery Farms is the first farming initiative to be created as part of a fully supported framework to encourage agribusiness re-development in the country.
Farato Hatchery Farms has been established by EMPAS, the Gambia's leading poultry processing company. Through the facility, EMPAS will start an integrated poultry value chain which aims to re-construct the poultry industry with sustainable socio-economic benefits.
The Farato Hatchery is the country's first state-of-the-art facility, producing 100,000 day-old chicks per month. Rapid growth is anticipated, as the new operation offers full control over product quality and overcomes cost challenges of transportation and losses in transit faced by local farmers who previously could only source chicks from Senegal.
Farato Farms currently employ 100 people in its operations to produce fresh, halal chicken.
The company's product is marketed throughout the Gambia as Moggie Chicken and recognised as a high quality product.
Said Pas Reform's CEO, Bart Aangenedent: "Pas Reform is very proud of its involvement in this initiative. We look forward to working with EMPAS to ensure the success and duplication of the Farat Hatchery model to support regeneration throughout the Gambia."
