"Your valued presence ensures success. Let's build a stronger poultry sector together." — Mr. Uday Singh Bayas, President, IPEMA – Poultry India
India's poultry industry — a global powerhouse.
India today stands as the 2nd largest producer of eggs (142.77 billion in 2023–24) and among the top 4 producers of broiler meat globally, growing annually at 8–10% in chicken meat and 6–8% in eggs. Poultry is not only a thriving industry but also a pillar of food and nutritional security, offering affordable protein to millions and combating malnutrition.
Beyond food, the sector drives rural employment and inclusive growth — empowering small farmers, women, and rural youth through contract farming and backyard poultry. Through its flagship event, the Poultry India Expo, themed 'One Nation One Expo', IPEMA has been instrumental in positioning India as a global poultry powerhouse — a platform that drives growth, solves sectoral challenges, and amplifies India's global impact.
