Big Opportunity in Poultry

The Indian poultry meat industry, which annually produces 2.3 million tonnes (FAOSTAT, 2010), is the fifth largest in the world and one of the most competitive. Per capita meat consumption at 1.8 kg/ year (GoI, 2010) is much lower than the 11 kg recommended by the Nutrition Advisory Council

Achievements

A woman producer earns at least ₹40,000 a year from the activity.

Mr. Brij Mohan Trustee (Executive Director of SIDBI)

This is perhaps the only women cooperative enterprise in the country with a membership of over 11000 spanning several Indian States.Our poultry consortium combines the principles of cooperation and passion of the professionals to produce an outcome that is socially desirable on all counts. We deliver high value chicken and eggs to the customers, incomes and dignity to the marginalized section of the society and a sense of fulfilment to all our stakeholders. Our unique risk management model allows poor households a meaningful presence into an otherwise high-risk business of broiler rearing. Backward integration into parent farms and feed manufacturing affords our producers to capture a larger pie of the value chain. With proposed entry into the front end of the value chain we are hopeful of delivering an even bigger share of the market value to our members. Our dream is to become the largest cooperative consortium of its kind in the world – poor centric, women member oriented and close to the market. We are making significant difference to the lives and dreams of poor people in the country and we will continue to do so in the years to come. I am proud to be a part of this endeavour. I wish the very best of everything to all our stakeholders, particularly our members.
