In a strategic move to bolster its presence in India’s poultry sector, the Allana Group has signed a term sheet to acquire a 30% stake in Kasturi Poultry Farms. This acquisition aligns with Allana’s broader vision to become a dominant player in the country’s poultry industry.
The Allana Group, established in 1865, is a global leader in the manufacture and export of various consumer products, including frozen and chilled halal meat, frozen and aseptic fruit pulps, coffee, cereals, and pet food. Recognized as a “Five Star Export House” by the Ministry of Commerce, Government of India, Allana has a significant footprint in the agri-commodities sector.
In 2024, Allana announced a $120 million investment to launch the Indian Poultry Alliance, aiming to revolutionize poultry production and consumption through fully integrated operations and advanced processing technologies. The alliance encompasses end-to-end operations, including breeder farms, hatcheries, feed plants, broiler contract farming, value-added products, and rendering plants. Strategically located across regions such as Kashmir, Punjab, Aligarh, Unnao, Kishanganj, Aurangabad, Belgaum, Zaheerabad, and Coimbatore, the alliance is poised to meet the diverse needs of QSR chains, food services, government agencies, and e-commerce platforms.
Kasturi Poultry Farms, established in 1998, is a Coimbatore-based company with over 25 years of experience in the poultry industry. The company operates a fully automated state-of-the-art feed mill with a capacity of 20 TPH and specializes in pellet and crumble feed. Kasturi is a pioneer in contract farming, supporting over 2,000 farmers across India by providing day-old chicks, feed, and health support, and procuring broiler birds by the sixth week. The company’s breeder unit produces a large number of eggs with good hatchability, catering to the needs of both dressing and boneless poultry meat.
The acquisition of a stake in Kasturi Poultry Farms is a significant milestone in Allana’s journey toward becoming the largest poultry player in India. By leveraging Kasturi’s established infrastructure and expertise, Allana aims to enhance its poultry operations and deliver high-quality, affordable poultry products to consumers.
