Investment Overview

The livestock platform scales poultry (2.4M birds/year), hatchery (6M chicks/year), feed mill (50–200 tonnes/day), and cattle feedlot (5,000 head) with genomic selection driving productivity gains.

Halal-certified processing and cold chain allow 60% of output to reach Middle Eastern and Asian markets, while 40% services premium domestic retailers.

A genomics laboratory supports selective breeding, disease resistance, and feed efficiency improvements, with data feeding back into the School of Excellence for farmer training.
