The Rasun Poultry Grandparents Project, operated by Vano Group as Iraq’s exclusive Aviagen Ross 308 distributor, forms a critical component of national poultry infrastructure. It supplies premium Ross 308 grandparent breeder stock to local hatcheries, essential for domestic broiler chick production. Recognized as a strategic pillar of Iraq’s poultry sector, the project significantly reduces reliance on imported chicks, enhancing food security. The UK Consul General’s 2024 visit highlighted its diplomatic value, praising the UK-Iraq partnership with Aviagen. This international collaboration strengthens bilateral relations while encouraging local investment in poultry production capabilities.
