Our Origin
The association was founded in response to the needs of local poultry farmers who sought support, guidance, and collaboration to improve their practices and livelihoods. For many years, poultry farming in Acoua was conducted largely on an individual basis, with limited access to technical knowledge, resources, or collective markets.
Recognizing these challenges, a group of dedicated farmers and agricultural advocates came together to form a structured association. Their goal was to provide a platform where farmers could share knowledge, access training, and collectively address challenges such as resource scarcity, disease management, and market access. This foundation has allowed the association to grow into a thriving organization that serves the entire commune.
