President Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema reaffirmed his support for local producers during a visit to BTF Farming in Akanda on Wednesday, January 14, 2026. Thanks to this presidential endorsement, the company has received a loan of 360 million CFA francs from the Gabonese Bank for Commerce and Entrepreneurship (BCEG). This boost is intended to increase the production capacity of the rapidly expanding farm.

During his visit to BTF Farming on Wednesday, January 14, President Oligui Nguema praised the exceptional performance of this farm, which has established itself as a key player in the national poultry sector. With 6,000 laying hens, the farm has achieved a remarkable technical feat, resulting in a daily production of 5,400 eggs. This 90% laying rate demonstrates rigorous control of breeding processes, generating an annual turnover of 240 million CFA francs.

Furthermore, to support the national goal of banning broiler chicken imports by 2027, the government is taking action and granting BTF Farming a subsidy of 360 million FCFA. This financial support is intended to strengthen its production capacity, improve its performance, and support the development of local agricultural entrepreneurship.

Through this partnership between BCEG and the private sector, Gabon confirms its determination to make agriculture a key driver of economic diversification, food security, job creation and the modernization of the agricultural sector.
