Chickens account for 93.5% of global poultry, highlighting their significance in diets and economies worldwide. In India, the poultry population has surged to 851.8 million birds, marking a 16.8% increase since the last census. The poultry sector is among the fastest-growing livestock industries, reshaping diets and bolstering the food economy. India ranks among the top three egg producers globally, with Andhra Pradesh contributing nearly 18% of the country's eggs. While India produces over 5 million tons of broiler chicken annually, consumption remains below the global average, especially compared to countries like the U.S. and Malaysia, where annual chicken intake exceeds 50 kg. Factors such as food habits and affordability contribute to this gap, indicating significant growth potential for the poultry market. The industry contributes approximately 1.25% to India's GDP and supports millions of farmers and businesses, serving as a vital source of rural income and nutrition. With urban diets increasingly favoring poultry, the sector is also looking to expand into export markets, presenting new opportunities for growth.
