By Modupe Gbadeyanka
Mr Ayoola Oduntan has been elected as the president of the Feed Industry Practitioners Association of Nigeria (FIPAN), succeeding Mr Raymond Isiadinso, whose tenure saw significant strides in the association’s advocacy efforts and member engagement.
FIPAN represents a broad spectrum of stakeholders in the animal feed industry, including feed millers, raw material producers (such as flour mills and vegetable oil mills), distributors, premix and concentrate producers, importers of additives and ingredients, and equipment suppliers.
The industry generates an estimated $2 to $3 billion annually. FIPAN is committed to advancing the sector through advocacy, setting industry standards, and providing member support, thus playing a crucial role in Nigeria’s agricultural and economic development.
After his election, Mr Oduntan expressed his appreciation for the trust placed in him by the association and reaffirmed his commitment to addressing the industry’s most pressing challenges.
He noted that in line with this vision, strategic alliances would be forged with key agricultural associations, such as the Maize Association of Nigeria (MAAN) and the Nigeria Soybean Association, as well as other key commodity groups.
These partnerships enhance stakeholder networks, streamline supply chains, and improve access to essential raw materials. Such collaborations are expected to address raw material sourcing challenges and improve overall industry efficiency.
“The future of our industry depends on our ability to work together, innovate, and create a more resilient and efficient feed production ecosystem. I will focus on ensuring that FIPAN provides the support and leadership necessary to achieve these goals,” he assured.
The new leader of FIPAN is armed with vast experience in the agricultural sector, positioning him to lead the group through this period of transformation.
In addition to his new role as FIPAN President, Mr Oduntan is the Group Managing Director of Amo Farm Sieberer Hatchery Limited, Amo Byng Nigeria Limited, natnudO Foods, Diversay Solutions Limited, and DSL Pharma.
His long-standing commitment to improving the country’s agricultural landscape is evidenced by his previous service as the National President of the Poultry Association of Nigeria (PAN).
