Aviagen renews contract with Indian River distributor in Egypt

Aviagen recently renewed a grandparent (GP) contract with its Indian River® distributor, TIBA, for the exclusive distribution of parent stock (PS) in the Egyptian market.

Aviagen team members including business manager (MENA) Bulent Tanyildizi  and Indian River commercial manager Kayhan Gursel,  joined TIBA chief executive officer Amre Aly and TIBA board members Hisham Mohamed Salah Elsayed Hassan Ayyad and Moataz Habashy for the signing of the deal in Ankara, Turkey.

TIBA has been a GP distributor since 2013, and the breed has gone from strength to strength within the market, Aviagen said. Indian River is popular amongst local growers throughout Egypt for its impressive meat yield, feed conversion ratio, livability and environmental tolerance.

"We have been an Indian River GP distributor for the Egyptian market since 2013. It is our pleasure and honor to continue our collaboration with Aviagen and to be their distributor of the breed within Egypt," Aly said. "It will be a chance for us to complete our successful journey with this reputable company and with this exceptional breed, which has resulted in Indian River being presented as a high-quality broiler and breeder, with exceptional performance results. We have had success and growth in the domestic market because our customers have chosen the newest breed in Egypt, supported by an experienced service team and the highest-quality day-old chicks on the market."

Gursel added: "Food security has recently emerged as a critical issue in the global market. Broiler production is by far the largest element of Egypt's poultry industry. TIBA is doing a great job in supplying Indian River PS into the market to improve food security within the country, despite all the economic challenges that the poultry industry faces. Aviagen sincerely

appreciates TIBA's hard work, dedication and commitment that have been instrumental in Indian River's success in the market. The signing of this new contract will enhance our existing business synergy and bring favorable results for the Egyptian poultry industry."
