The Tanzania Poultry Industry Association (TPIA) has strengthened its connection with Morocco’s poultry federation, FISA, following a regional training mission that brought together poultry advisory and support teams from Tanzania and Kenya.
Held from 1 to 8 November 2026 at FISA’s Avipole training centre in Casablanca, the programme combined classroom learning with practical exercises and visits across Morocco’s poultry industry. It was organised by FISA and Avipole with support from the U.S. Grains & BioProducts Council (USGBC).
Participants explored breeder, layer and broiler management, poultry nutrition, vaccination, disease control and biosecurity. The programme also included visits to a feed mill, a commercial poultry farm and a veterinary diagnostic facility. The delegation attended the DAWAJINE poultry show in El Jadida.
For TPIA, a central lesson was the role an industry federation can play beyond representation. FISA’s training centre and engagement with poultry businesses offered a practical example of how technical knowledge, farmer support and industry coordination can work together. The exchange also gave TPIA a closer view of how feed quality, farm management and diagnostic services contribute to poultry production.
The mission provides a starting point for continued dialogue between TPIA and FISA. TPIA will draw on relevant lessons as it develops its own work in industry training, poultry health and member services, while exploring further opportunities for knowledge exchange.
TPIA thanks FISA and the Avipole team for hosting the delegation, USGBC for supporting the programme, and the Kenyan participants for sharing their experience throughout the week.
