National Foods Limited has through its Stockfeeds Division poured an investment of over USD$30 000 in a new egg layer production program.

The initiative is in partnership with the Community Foundation for the Western Region of Zimbabwe.

According to the listed entity, the programme, “A Life A Day,” seeks to empower youths in rural communities to develop sustainable livelihoods through enterprise development.

The egg layer production program is part of the company’s broader goals to invest in youths, support rural industrialization, and promote long-term health and food security.
