The Indian poultry sector’s success story is uniquely exceptional. From a backyard venture, it has made a quantum leap to emerge as a dynamic sector. Over the last three decades, there have been significant developments in the poultry sector with each decade focusing on different stage of the poultry value chain. The seventies saw a spurt in egg production; the eighties an acceleration in broiler production; the nineties advances in poultry integration, automation and feed production. The present decade promises to exploit value added products and the global trade avenue.
