Olam Agri Invests In 450,000-Tonne Animal Plant In Delta

Olam Agri is investing in a 450,000-metric-tonne animal feed production facility in Delta State, in a move expected to expand its production capacity and strengthen Nigeria’s livestock value chain.

The project, located in Ogwashi-Uku, Aniocha South Local Government Area, is expected to create direct and indirect jobs, provide markets for local farmers and support the supply of affordable animal protein across the South-South and South-East regions.

Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, performed the groundbreaking ceremony for the facility, describing the investment as an outcome of the Delta State Economic and Investment Summit held in August 2026.

According to the governor, the facility will support agricultural businesses by creating additional demand for locally produced farm commodities while helping to reduce the cost of animal feed.

Oborevwori said the state government had provided approximately 100 hectares of land for the project, paid compensation and invested in supporting infrastructure, including the completed Ibusa Bridge.

He assured Olam Agri of continued government support, adding that the investment aligns with his administration’s efforts to attract private sector capital, promote industrialisation and create employment.

The governor also urged residents of the host community, particularly youths, to protect the facility and ensure that construction proceeds without disruption.
