The Integrated Poultry Ecosystem Platform (IPEP) is a digital infrastructure built by Grains and Feeds Trading Company Ltd. (GFTCL) to transform smallholder poultry farming across Nigeria. We combine technology, finance, and logistics into one seamless farmer-facing platform.
The platform is built for Nigerian poultry farmers — particularly smallholders operating broiler, layer, cockerel, and noiler flocks — who face consistent barriers to growth: limited access to quality feed, unreliable insurance coverage, poor market connectivity, and little data visibility over their own operations.
Through IPEP, enrolled farmers receive feed on a 60/40 credit model (60% upfront, 40% deferred), NSIA-backed flock insurance, real-time IoT sensor monitoring for temperature, humidity, and disease risk, and a guaranteed off-take arrangement that removes market uncertainty at harvest.
The platform serves multiple stakeholders through dedicated portals: farmers track their flocks and payments; cooperatives manage group enrollments and wallets; GFTCL operations teams coordinate deliveries, settlements, and compliance; NSIA insurance officers review and activate policies; and field agents log site visits and conduct offline inspections.
GFTCL is headquartered in Nigeria and partners with the Nigerian Agricultural Insurance Corporation (NAIC), the National Social Insurance Authority (NSIA), and rural cooperative networks to bring structured value chains to underserved farming communities. Our mission is to make every Nigerian poultry farmer more productive, insured, and financially included.
