IPEMA / Poultry India proudly participated in the two-day event which brought together policymakers, industry associations, and experts from across poultry, dairy, aquaculture, and livestock to deliberate on the theme "Animal Agriculture in India – The Way Forward."
The two-day event successfully charted a unified roadmap for India's animal agriculture sector, placing a strong emphasis on driving agricultural exports, empowering rural livelihoods, and enhancing the nation's global competitiveness.
Outlook of Animal Agriculture for Viksit Bharat.
Representing IPEMA / Poultry India, Mr. Uday Singh Bayas, President, joined as a distinguished panelist in the flagship discussion on "Outlook of Animal Agriculture for Viksit Bharat," moderated by Shri Tarun Shridhar, IAS (Retd.). The panel featured leaders from national associations across poultry, dairy, aquaculture, and allied livestock sectors, and emphasized the collective vision of making animal agriculture a key contributor to India's nutritional security, rural prosperity, and global trade leadership.
Speaking at the symposium, Mr. Uday Singh Bayas highlighted the pivotal role of the Indian poultry sector, stressing its contribution to food security, farmer livelihoods, and economic growth. He reaffirmed IPEMA / Poultry India's commitment to strengthening the ecosystem through innovation, policy advocacy, and knowledge sharing.
Mr. Bayas also appreciated CLFMA and its Chairman, Mr. Divya Kumar Gulati, for bringing together a distinguished platform that unites every stakeholder of the animal agriculture ecosystem—feed manufacturers, animal farming, and the livestock industry—as a unified voice of the nation.
From largest producer to influential exporter.
"India is home to the world's largest livestock population and contributes 30.23% to agricultural GVA and 5.5% to the national economy. With stronger cold-chain and processing infrastructure, and faster adoption of innovation, we can evolve from being the world's largest producer to one of its most influential exporters. CLFMA remains committed to working with all stakeholders to turn this vision into reality." — Mr. Divya Kumar Gulati, Chairman, CLFMA of India
To drive this transformation, CLFMA has proposed the establishment of Export Oriented Zones (EOZs) and a Livestock Export & Domestic Development Authority — strategic initiatives that will enhance ease of doing business, strengthen global competitiveness, and open new export opportunities for the Indian poultry and livestock sector.
