International Poultry Council and International Egg Commission sign a renewed MoU to support continued growth in the poultry and egg industries.
The International Egg Commission (IEC) and International Poultry Council (IPC) have signed a renewed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to strengthen their longstanding relationship and support continued growth in the poultry and egg industries.
Under the updated agreement, which was signed by IEC Chairman, Suresh Chitturi, and IPC President, Robin Horel, the organisations will work together on areas of joint interest including zoonosis and avian diseases, as well as biosecurity.
This agreement stems from the excellent relationship that has always existed between the two Associations and which has strengthened in recent months, aware that in facing the challenges that will arise in the coming years, unity will be strength.
Speaking about the MoU, IEC Chairman, Suresh Chitturi said: “The poultry and egg industries are perfectly placed to support the growing world population through the supply of high-quality, affordable, safe and sustainable protein.
By collaborating on areas of joint interest we can accelerate the advancement of our industries with the potential to support millions of small and medium entrepreneurs, creating jobs for rural women and communities, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.”
IPC President, Robin Horel adds: “On behalf of the International Poultry Council, I am very pleased to sign this Memorandum of Understanding with the International Egg Commission. Formalizing our intent to work together on areas of joint interest makes sense for our respective members and industries.”
The poultry meat and egg sectors have many points in common, starting from the sustainability profile, the best of all Animal Sourced Foods, and they share numerous challenges for the future, first of all Avian Influenza.
