Shuman Farms Celebrates 70 Years of Lebanese Poultry Heritage at HORECA Lebanon

Shuman Farms celebrated 70 years of poultry production in Lebanon at the 30th edition of HORECA Lebanon on Wednesday, November 11, at Seaside Arena in Beirut. The celebration was attended by His Excellency Dr. Nizar Hani, Minister of Agriculture, and His Excellency Mr. Joe Issa El Khoury, Minister of Industry, alongside the Directors General of the Ministries of Agriculture and Industry respectively, Eng. Louis Lahoud and Mr. Adel Al Shabab.

At the Shuman Farms stand, Chef Maroun Chedid prepared and served a selection of dishes using Shuman chicken. Guests included members of the Shuman family, the Vita Food company Board members and team, customers, partners, chefs, hoteliers and restaurateurs.

The Shuman Farms story began in 1955, when Hassan Shuman, Nabil Shuman’s father, started producing poultry from a farmhouse in the Bekaa Valley. Successive generations of the family have carried the name forward, supplying Lebanese households, supermarkets, restaurants and caterers.

“My father began this journey in the Bekaa in 1955. Today, we are proud to carry his legacy forward, with quality, traceability and innovation at the heart of what we do,” said Nabil Shuman, General Manager of Vita Food SAL, which operates the Shuman Farms brand. “This celebration is also an opportunity to thank our Shuman team, farmers, customers and partners, whose trust has helped Shuman Farms grow through the years.”

Today, *Shuman* carries that heritage forward through its commitment to high-quality fresh chicken, full product traceability and innovation. The Shuman Farms range includes freshly packed chicken cuts for households and professional kitchens. Shuman Farms Roumieh facility holds ISO 22000:2018 certification for its fresh poultry operations.
