A successful participation at one of West Africa's leading livestock and agribusiness trade platforms — strengthening international collaboration and trade across the global poultry sector.
The Indian Poultry Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA) – Poultry India marked a successful participation at the NIPOLI Expo 2026 held in Ibadan, Nigeria, further strengthening international collaboration and trade relationships within the global poultry and livestock sector.
Led by IPEMA President Uday Singh Bayas, the delegation actively engaged with international stakeholders, industry leaders, policymakers, and agribusiness professionals during the expo. The participation showcased India's growing capabilities and innovation-driven advancements in poultry equipment and the allied sector.
Recognized as one of West Africa's leading livestock and agribusiness trade platforms, NIPOLI Expo 2026 brought together global and regional exhibitors, investors, feed manufacturers, veterinarians, researchers, and policymakers under one roof. The event served as a platform for knowledge exchange, networking, business partnerships, and exploring opportunities across the African poultry and livestock ecosystem.
Nigeria's poultry sector continues to emerge as one of Africa's strongest agricultural growth drivers, valued at approximately USD 4.2 billion and contributing significantly to the country's agricultural GDP. With over 180 million birds, annual production exceeding 1.5 million metric tons of chicken meat, and approximately 15.8 billion eggs annually, the market presents immense opportunities for collaboration, technology exchange, and sustainable growth.
The Middle East and Africa poultry market, valued at USD 26.7 billion in 2024 and projected to reach USD 35.57 billion by 2033, further highlights the increasing global importance of the region. Nigeria's strategic position as a gateway to Africa also opens broader avenues for trade and cooperation with emerging markets across the Middle East and the African continent.
The IPEMA – Poultry India delegation had the privilege of interacting with several distinguished dignitaries and honourable guests at the event:
These interactions reinforced IPEMA's commitment to building stronger trade relationships with Nigeria and other African countries, while exploring collaborative pathways for industry partnerships.
