Why Locally Raised Chicken Matters for Somalia

For decades, Somalia has relied heavily on imported frozen poultry. While convenient, this dependence drains foreign currency, weakens local farmers, and leaves families eating meat that has travelled for weeks.

At Digaag Poultry Farm, we believe a different path is possible. Chicken raised here in Dayniile reaches your kitchen fresh, halal-slaughtered, and full of the flavour that only comes from healthy, home-raised birds.

Local production also means jobs. Every flock we raise creates work for feeders, cleaners, drivers, and sellers. This is what the National Transformation Plan calls for: food security built by Somalis, for Somalis.

When you choose local, you are not just buying dinner. You are investing in a self-reliant Somalia.
