“The seminar provides an exceptional opportunity to learn from the best minds in the industry,” Uday Singh Bayas, President of IPEMA, said.
Issues for discussion
The seminar would have seven sessions, covering some key issues that confront the poultry industry.
K G Anand of Venkateshwara Hatcheries Limited has said that the poultry industry has a huge scope as the consumption of eggs was going up significantly. “It is the only sector that can quickly augment the incomes of farmers. Agricultural incomes are growing at a slow pace of 3-4 per cent. A large chunk of farmers are still dependent on agriculture for their likelihood. If we want to help farmers to grow their incomes, promoting poultry is the best option,” he said.
“The expo has gained prominence in the global poultry ecosystem. We are expecting a large turnout this time. It will provide a platform for the stakeholders to explore new business opportunities, and discover the latest advancements in the sector and feed technologies,” Anil Dhumal, Founder of IPEMA, said.
