The Solution
USDA / IITA Technology that naturally and
cost effectively reduces Aflatoxin levels
by 80% to 99%

Aflasafe Commercial Strategy
Three Strategic Question
“Establish a sustainable
premium market for low
aflatoxin maize and
ensure this premium
creates sufficient
economic incentive to
sustain farmers adoption
with the buyer and seller
sharing the economic
benefits equally”
I.
Who is the target market for
low aflatoxin maize?
II. What premium can this
market afford and does the
premium provide sufficient
economic incentive to
sustain farmer adoption?
III. How will the commercial
plan to be implemented?

Target Market for Aflasafe Maize
Poultry Industry… Key Driver of Domestic Maize Production
Correlated Growth In Maize and Poultry Production in Nigeria
Drivers
Index of growth in production for maize and poultry relative to
Nigeria’s production in 1961*
Measure: Relative growth in production
Nigerian poultry production
has grown from 113 Million
birds in 2000 to 192 million
birds in 2010
Nigerian Government
Bans Poultry Imports
Nigerian maize production
has grown from 4 million
metric tons in 2000 to a 7.3
million metric tons in 2010
Each sector has grown on
average 5% per year.
Poultry feed is
approximately 60% maize.

Is Aflatoxin an issue for the poultry industry?
7
Aflatoxin has a significant economic impact on poultry production
Majority of Poultry Feed in Nigeria Toxic
Percentage of Toxic Poultry Feed *
Measure: % with levels of Aflatoxin over 20 PPB
Impact of Toxic Feed
Poultry fed with Contaminated
Feed ( >500 PPB)
Poultry fed with Safe Feed (
< 20 PPB)
Safe
38%
Toxic
62%
*IITA
Significant increased mortality
Dramatic reduction in live weight / Feed efficiency
(40% less in IITA trails)
Drop in egg production rate
Additional IITA trails in progress

Is the poultry industry currently paying a premium
for low aflatoxin maize?

 Final ex factory price assumes an
EBITDA margin of 28% (55 Naira /
kg) applied to product to enable
factory to be sustainable.
 Simple, low-cost formulation and
manufacturing process developed
for use in this manufacturing plant
 Process amenable to seed
processing companies
 Discussions underway with 2 seed
processing companies for
manufacturing aflasafe in Nigeria
 Key actors in distribution are the
Distribution Partners (DPs) and
Retailers.
 As product is new and requires
addition work by the value chain
actors i.e. marketing and education,
margins are set slightly higher than
normal to encourage effective
distribution.
 Cost to farmer includes labor cost to
apply assuming half day at 800 naira
per day.

Poultry Industry Currently Paying an Implied Premium in Lost Profits
Aflasafe Treated Maize Dramatically Increases Profitability by up to $0.72/ Broiler Started
Lost Gross Profit ($/Broiler Started) of Not Using
Aflasafe Treated Maize*
Assumptions
 2kg live weight
 Conservative low cost finisher feed mix:
$0.50/kg
 Average bird dies at 4weeks weighing 1kg
 Price of dressed weight bird: ₦650/kg
 Cost of day old chick: $1/Chick
* Doreo Analysis
21
The Recommended Premium For Aflasafe Treated Maize is
$56/MT vs. $6.25/MT
