IPEMA/ Poultry India President Uday Singh Bayas, appealed for urgent governmental support to sustain and strengthen the poultry sector, a cornerstone of India’s food security, rural employment, and nutritional welfare.

Contributing an annual Rs 1.35 lakh crores and providing essential protein to millions, the Poultry Industry facing severe pressures due to escalating input costs, especially for feed ingredients like maize and soya, compounded by GST burdens on soya meal and poultry equipment, he said.

Immediate policy interventions are needed to stabilize prices, ensure affordable feed, and enable fair access to credit, particularly by expanding priority sector lending thresholds, the President said.

We advocate for exemptions from GST on soya meal and processing machinery to ease financial strain, along with increased Rabi maize cultivation and controlled corn imports for ethanol production to stabilize feed costs, he said.

We also urge fast-tracked vaccine import protocols to combat animal diseases, alongside nationwide support for egg inclusion in school meal programs to address child malnutrition, he added.
