Market Potential of Poultry Sector
Despite the fact that india poultry industry is the fastest growing in the world, its potential to attract big-time foreign investment is negligible and will necessitate a host of changes like greater integration, better cost-efficiencies and improvement in distribution. Poultry industry's potential for growth also stems from the fact that 80% of India is non-vegetarian.
Besides, poultry has no religious sentiment. India is likely to be among the fastest growing poultry consumption nations, due to rising affordability, population growth and conversion from vegetarianism.
This is one reason that the international market may look at the Indian poultry industry. In the north-eastern states, there is a substantial shortage of chicken meats and eggs against the market demand.
The poultry industry is well dominated in the southern states of the country with nearly 60-70% of the total output coming from these states.
However, marketing of the final product is still under the control of traders.1
