EFFECTIVE COVERAGE FOR POULTRY FARMERS- GCOML/NAIC PARTNERSHIP
Poultry farming comes with some risk despite best farm management practices. Cases like stampede, Newcastle, Salmonella and Coccidioses can wipe off an entire flock, destroying a farmer’s means of livelihood; the bird flu saga is a case in point.
It is in view of this inherent challenge and the need to assure and boost the confidence of poultry farmers that Grand Cereals & Oil Mills Limited (GCOML), a foremost producer of poultry feed with the brand name Vital Feed; in being forward looking is offering free insurance cover to poultry farmers; the company in conjunction with Nigerian Agricultural Insurance Commission (NAIC) is taking up the insurance cost on behalf of poultry farmers which implies if any eventuality occurs, the poultry farmer will be compensated.
GCOML has agreed to pay the premium the farmers would have otherwise paid to the insurance company; what a poultry farmer needs to do is SIMPLY be on VITAL FEED. The scheme is for layer birds only.
