In Nigeria’s poultry industry, counterfeit and adulterated agro-inputs have quietly eroded the trust, productivity, and profitability of farmers for decades. From fake vaccines and low-grade feed to misrepresented day-old chicks, these hidden threats cost African poultry producers over $4 billion USD annually—with disastrous consequences for food safety, farmer livelihoods, and national food security.
At AgDyna, we are confronting this crisis head-on through Farmsured™—our compliance and traceability technology platform that is restoring confidence and accountability across the poultry value chain.
The Problem: Hidden Threats, Visible Damage
Poultry farmers, especially smallholders, face a minefield of unreliable inputs:
-
Adulterated feed that slows growth and weakens immune systems.
-
Unverified vaccines and drugs that cause mortality spikes instead of preventing disease.
-
Counterfeit day-old chicks (DOCs) that are genetically inferior or already exposed to infections.
These issues are exacerbated by poor regulatory oversight, middleman-led supply chains, and lack of product traceability.
Farmsured’s Response: Technology Meets Trust
Farmsured™ is designed to verify, validate, and reward compliance at every step of the value chain. Here’s how:
✅ Tamper-Evident Labeling for DOCs
Through our Farmsured DOC Protection Initiative, every chick carton now carries a dual-label system:
-
A red external tag for verification in the market.
-
A green internal tag activated on-farm to initiate a 48-hour protection window, providing chick loss guarantees for verified users.
✅ Blockchain-Based Product Traceability
Inputs—feeds, drugs, supplements—are assigned batch codes that can be scanned by farmers using WhatsApp or USSD. These codes confirm product authenticity, expiry, and sourcing details instantly.
✅ Verified Supply Chains via FarmClusters
All Farmsured-affiliated clusters source inputs only from verified manufacturers and distributors, reducing exposure to bad actors in the market.
✅ Compliance Scoring and Incentives
Farms and cooperatives that consistently comply with best practices receive Farmsured Points, unlocking access to:
-
Premium markets
-
Branded product channels (e.g., EggXotic™)
-
Social benefits through Farmtrove™ (healthcare, insurance, and input financing)
Impact So Far
-
Over 150,000+ day-old chicks verified through Farmsured’s DOC protection program.
-
10+ major poultry cooperatives have adopted Farmsured traceability and scoring systems.
-
Registered farms report a 30–40% improvement in input reliability and cost recovery.
Why It Matters
Restoring trust in agro-inputs is not just about profitability—it’s about survival, sustainability, and scale. As Africa’s demand for affordable protein soars, poultry will remain a key source—but only if farmers are protected from fraud and failure.
Farmsured is more than a technology. It is a movement for integrity, resilience, and transformation in African poultry production.
