Chief Mrakpor stated this during the annual end-of-year party organised by the organisation at the premises of the farm on Monday to honour and reward outstanding staff of the farm for 2024, foster friendship with associates and customers with Mr Clever Ogheneovo carting home the coveted star award of the occasion as the face of the Tatcha Farms 2025.
While commending the staff for staying true and committed to the ideal of the organization despite the unfriendly economic environment in the country, noted that as part of Tatcha Farms’ social responsibility, the MD of Tatcha Farms Ltd, Chief Mrs Esther Mrakpor, graciously provided bundles of wrappers and other palliatives to women and other residents of the host community,
In her welcome address the Managing Director of Tatcha Farms, Chief Esther Mrakpor represented by her daughter Oghenemeseri Mrakpor pointed out that as an organization, customer service forms the centre-piece in its business metrics as the Year 2024 though challenging with inflationary trends yet through commitment was able to record significant progress in the construction of a facility to house 30, 000 birds in its expansion road map for Tacha Farm extension services and to honour the memories of family members including Christiana Oluku, Olorogun Mike Ereumu, and Mrs. Esiso Mrakpor who have left an indelible mark in their lives.
The MD stated that the organisation’s goal for the year 2025 is centred around taking Tatcha Farms one step closer to self-sufficiency and building a fully automated brooding house to supply laying houses, noting that such a feat will improve efficiency, streamline operations and strengthen the farm production capacity.
“We are also working on installing an organic manure factory. This facility will transform poultry droppings into organic manure to benefit crop farmers and support Tatcha Farms’ crop extension initiatives. Our vision is to produce enough organic manure to meet the needs of Delta State and even beyond. The design and planning for the organic manure factory are on top gear; in other words, they are already in progress.
“This project is an essential step in providing sustainable agricultural solutions for the country. It is fascinating to realize that every waste in the poultry value chain offers an organic solution to another problem.
“We encourage everyone to embrace and explore this potential. By the grace of God, at next year’s celebration, I hope to announce the successful completion of these projects. Together, we are building a brighter, more sustainable future for Tatcha Farms and our community as a whole,” She declared.
