Zangtinda Marcel Ouedraogo Joins Hubbard as Dual Purpose Project Manager
Africa – Hubbard is pleased to announce the appointment of Zangtinda Marcel Ouedraogo as Dual Purpose Project Manager. This new role reflects Hubbard’s commitment to strengthening initiatives that promote sustainable and inclusive agriculture across Africa. Zangtinda Marcel will report directly to Florian Allègre, Western and Northern Africa Sales Manager.
Native from Burkina Faso, Zangtinda Marcel holds a Master’s degree in Agronomy, obtained in 2014 from Université Nazi Boni (Burkina Faso), with a specialisation in conservation agriculture, agroecology, soil fertility, agroforestry, and livestock production.
He holds a strong scientific and technical background in sustainable agricultural production systems. His professional experience has enabled him to develop recognised expertise in agroecology and agricultural program management.
Over the past decade, Zangtinda Marcel has held key positions within international and research organisations, where he has led agricultural programs, supervised multidisciplinary teams, and contributed to improving production systems, specifically in the poultry sector.
With this extensive experience in agricultural development and his strategic expertise in the design, implementation, and monitoring of sustainable poultry projects, Zangtinda Marcel will contribute to the development of Dual Purpose poultry markets. He will focus on promoting farmers, local hatcheries, and smallholder poultry producers, while advancing sustainable and resilient farming practices.
Dual Purpose breeds deliver a practical twofold benefit, as males are raised for meat production and females for egg production. Hardy and well adapted to African conditions, they provide smallholder farmers, especially women and young people, with opportunities to actively take part in regional economic development. These breeds help strengthen financial and social autonomy while improving access to high-quality animal protein through both meat and eggs.
With the appointment of a dedicated Dual Purpose Project Manager, Hubbard reaffirms its commitment to supporting rural communities in developing efficient, sustainable, cost-effective poultry systems tailored to climate challenges.
Florian Allègre added: “We are delighted to welcome Zangtinda Marcel to the Hubbard team. With his strong field experience in West and Central Africa, he will actively contribute to the upgrade of high-performing and robust Hubbard Dual Purpose breeds. He will also bring forward innovative solutions to support farmers and organisations involved in strengthening poultry value chains.”
