Message from IPEMA President, Mr. Uday Singh Bayas:

Speaking at the curtain raiser, Mr. Uday Singh Bayas, President of IPEMA, emphasized the role of Poultry India Expo as a critical event for strengthening the industry’s economic and social contributions. “The poultry sector is a vital component of India’s food security and rural economy, supporting over a million poultry farmers. However, rising input costs, particularly for feed ingredients like maize and soya, compounded by GST on soya meal and poultry equipment, are imposing severe financial strains on our farmers. We appeal to the government for priority interventions to stabilize feed prices and expand access to affordable credit. Exemptions from GST on essential feed and equipment, increased Rabi maize cultivation, and a regulated approach to corn imports for ethanol production would greatly alleviate these burdens.”

In urging for government support, Mr. Bayas also highlighted the importance of expanding vaccine import protocols, establishing egg nutrition programs in school meals, and fostering export opportunities. “We need dedicated support to strengthen our export capabilities and enhance India’s standing as a major poultry exporter,” Mr. Bayas remarked, inviting the industry and media to champion the cause of sustainable growth.
