Ethiopian Poultry & Hatchery Roadmap: Advancing Domestic Day-Old Chick Capacity for Local Producers
Key Highlights
  • Consistent supply of high-fertility layer and broiler hatching eggs for commercial hatcheries across Ethiopia.
  • Aligned with Ethiopia’s Gebeta Le Hager and Yelemat Tirufat national poultry self-reliance initiatives.
  • Phase 3 roadmap establishes domestic climate-controlled incubation and veterinary-supervised day-old chick distribution.

Strengthening Ethiopia’s Domestic Poultry Value Chain

Ethiopia’s rapidly growing demand for table eggs and poultry meat requires a dependable supply of high-viability hatching eggs and disease-free day-old chicks. Lijemrakel Trading PLC currently partners with certified international parent-stock flocks to deliver sanitized, flock-certified fertilized hatching eggs directly to Ethiopian hatchery operators.

Every shipment undergoes strict veterinary health certification and Ethiopian Agricultural Authority (EAA) import verification prior to arrival in Addis Ababa.

Phase 3 Domestic Hatchery & Biosecurity Infrastructure in Ethiopia

Under Phase 3 of our corporate strategy, Lijemrakel Trading PLC is preparing feasibility and biosecurity frameworks for modern domestic hatchery and breeder operations in Ethiopia—featuring automated setter and hatcher cabinets, Marek’s and Newcastle hatchery vaccination protocols, and regional chick delivery across Oromia, Amhara, Sidama, and SNNP.

“Our goal in Ethiopia is to build a seamless bridge from certified hatching-egg importation today to modern domestic hatchery and day-old chick production tomorrow.”
