Major reasons for improvement in poultry sector

According to a CareAge Ratings report, India remains one of the largest egg and meat producers in the world due to increasing protein consumption, urbanization, increased demand and purchasing power, as well as changing dietary patterns. Additionally, the poultry industry experienced steady performance during FY26 due to substantial growth in production, strong demand from retail, institutional and feed channels, as well as improved supply-demand balance. As a result, profitability improved and industry performance remained strong in the fourth quarter of FY26.

2027 will see a significant improvement

According to the report, the revenue of the poultry sector is estimated to grow by 7% in 2027. The rating agency cites rising protein consumption, urbanization and rising disposable income as factors driving capacity expansion for conglomerates. Improving feed conversion ratio (FCR), improving farm management practices and focusing on implementation efficiency is expected to increase productivity and competitiveness in the organized poultry industry. This, along with increased revenue, is expected to lead to a slight increase in the company’s profits in FY2027.
