Something About Company
Ethiochicken is considered as one of the leading poultry producing company in East Africa in which the operative companies are AGP Poultry PlC (AGP), Mekelle Farms Ltd (MFL) and Andasa Poultry PLC. These are sister companies and jointly operate under the brand umbrella of Ethiochicken. The parent company, Agflow Poultry Limited owns entirely AGP Poultry and Andasa Poultry with 73.5% ownership of Mekelle Farms. The group focuses on producing and selling improved breeds of chickens to smallholder farmers in rural Ethiopia. Currently the group manages six poultry breeder farms and one feed mill production plant in four regions of Ethiopia and is expected to increase this number significantly in the next three years.
EthioChicken began operations in September 2010 in Northern Ethiopia. The Company took over a stumbling government poultry farm, and turned it around to create the leading day-old chick producer in Ethiopia. Our early success led the previous Prime Minister, H.E. Hailemariam Desalegn, to recommend that we extend our model to Southern Ethiopia. In mid-2014, the Company acquired two new facilities. This initial expansion increased the Company’s capacity, enabling it to become one of the largest day-old chick producers in East Africa.
During its years of operations in Ethiopia, the Company focused on three key areas:
1. Understanding the rural customer and identifying the right product: dual-purpose chickens from France and layer chickens from The Netherlands, both sourced from global genetics leaders.

I am writing to express my keen interest in joining EthioChicken, a leading organization that has made a remarkable impact in improving rural livelihoods through poultry production in Ethiopia. With a BSc degree in Animal Production and two years of hands-on experience, I am confident that my background, dedication, and passion for agricultural development make me a strong candidate for a position within your team. I graduated from Agro Technical and Technology College with a CGPA of 3.85, which reflects my strong academic foundation in animal science, poultry production, and sustainable farming practices. Following my graduation, I worked at Mattu University’s farm unit as a Technical Assistant for two years. This role allowed me to gain valuable practical experience in animal husbandry, data collection and management, and supporting farm operations—all of which are directly aligned with the work EthioChicken does in empowering smallholder farmers. What particularly inspires me about EthioChicken is your unique approach to combining business with social impact. Your commitment to increasing food security, improving nutrition, and generating income for rural households resonates with my personal and professional goals. I am eager to contribute my skills, energy, and knowledge to an organization that is transforming lives and agriculture in Ethiopia. I am confident that my academic achievements, combined with practical experience and a deep passion for rural development, make me well-suited to contribute positively to your organization’s mission. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can add value to your team and contribute to your continued success. Sincerely, Ediris Abdulkadir
