Revolutionizing Poultry Farming And Empowering Rural Farmers In Ethiopia
EthioChicken is one of Ethiopia’s leading agribusiness startups, transforming poultry farming, improving nutrition, and creating rural employment opportunities across the country. Established in 2010 and based in Addis Ababa, the company has expanded to serve millions of smallholder farmers in Ethiopia and East Africa.
It plays a major role in strengthening food security through affordable and productive poultry solutions.
At the core of EthioChicken’s operations is the production and distribution of high-quality, disease-resistant day-old chicks, along with scientifically formulated feed and strong technical support for farmers. Its mission is to improve the livelihoods of Ethiopian farmers by increasing access to affordable protein sources such as eggs and chicken meat.
What makes EthioChicken unique is its inclusive business model. Instead of focusing only on large commercial farms, it works directly with rural households and local agents, enabling families to raise chickens in backyard systems with minimal investment. This approach has empowered millions of rural farmers, especially women and youth, to generate sustainable income.
The company distributes millions of improved chicks annually and supports farmers with training, veterinary services, and improved farming practices. These improved breeds grow faster and produce more eggs compared to traditional chickens, significantly increasing productivity and household nutrition.
Today, EthioChicken stands as a model of agricultural innovation in Ethiopia, demonstrating how a startup can combine commercial success with strong social impact while supporting national development. It continues to inspire agribusiness growth across Africa every single day and beyond.
