HYDERABAD:
The Indian Poultry Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA)/ Poultry India is proud to announce the 16th edition of Poultry India Expo 2024, the largest and most prestigious international poultry exhibition in South Asia. This highly anticipated event will take place from November 27th to 29th, 2024 at the HITEX Exhibition Complex, Hyderabad. Complementing this landmark event is the Knowledge Day Technical Seminar on November 26th, 2024, at the Hotel Novotel, HICC, Hyderabad.

With the theme “Unlocking Poultry Potential” the 16th edition of Poultry India Expo 2024 promises to be a transformative platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and showcasing the latest innovations in the global poultry industry. This event is expected to gather over 400 exhibitors from 50+ countries, along with 40,000 visitors including poultry farmers, government officials, industry integrators, and global poultry experts.

The expo begins with Knowledge Day, a premier technical seminar, recognized for bringing together renowned experts from around the world. This year’s edition will host over 1500 delegates from 25+ countries, participating in 7+ sessions on topics critical to the growth of the poultry sector.
Knowledge Day event will feature sessions on modern poultry production, innovations in feed mills, nutrition, and animal health. The seminar provides an exceptional opportunity to learn from the best minds in the industry.

As the largest poultry exhibition in South Asia, this year’s Poultry India Expo will bring together global and domestic exhibitors to showcase innovations in poultry management, health, nutrition, and production technologies. The expo will cover 27,500 sqm, spanning Six exhibition halls at HITEX, Hyderabad, and is projected to host over 40,000 visitors.

Uday Singh Bayas, President of IPEMA/ Poultry India said that on behalf of over a million poultry farmers across India, IPEMA appeals for urgent governmental support to sustain and strengthen the poultry sector, a cornerstone of India’s food security, rural employment, and nutritional welfare. The poultry industry, contributing an annual Rs. 1.35 lakh crores and providing essential protein to millions, faces 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. Immediate policy interventions are needed to stabilize prices, ensure affordable feed, and enable fair access to credit, particularly by expanding priority sector lending thresholds. 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.

To enhance resilience, 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. The industry’s competitiveness on a global stage requires dedicated “Focus Sector” status to support exports to high-demand markets, which would elevate India’s role as a leading exporter of poultry products.

We urge a balanced approach that considers India’s unique needs and the contributions of its poultry sector, while looking forward to opportunities that will allow us to support India’s food security goals, enhance farmer welfare, and foster sustainable practices.

“We are delighted to invite the global poultry community to the 16th edition of Poultry India Expo 2024. This year’s event will spotlight over 400 exhibitors from across 50+ countries, representing various sectors from across various sectors, including breeding, pharmaceuticals, and animal health. The expo will provide an unparalleled opportunity for networking, collaboration, and innovation. We look forward to welcoming everyone to Hyderabad as we work together to shape the future of the poultry industry.”

The 16TH Edition of Poultry India Expo -2024 offers a unique platform for industry professionals to explore new business opportunities, discover the latest advancements in poultry farming, feed technologies, and health management, and engage in conversations around the future of the industry. The exhibition will also focus on addressing the emerging challenges facing the poultry sector, such as supply chain disruptions, environmental concerns, and disease management.
