Patel Poultry And Trading is leading name in poultry trading. Trade involves the transfer of goods or services from one person or entity to another. Poultry is one of the fastest growing segments of the agricultural sector in India with around eight percent growth rate per annum. The poultry sector in India has undergone a paradigm shift in structure and operation which has been its transformation from a mere backyard activity into a major commercial agri based industry over a period of four decades. The growth in the broiler segment is expected to remain strong due to consumer preference for chicken meat, increasing income levels, and changing food habits.

Major poultry companies have vertically integrated operations which comprise approximately 60-70 percent of the total chicken production. These major companies, also called integrators, own hatcheries, feed mills, and slaughter facilities and may also provide credit, extension services, and veterinary medicine. Integrators contract with multiple smaller farmers who raise the chicks to slaughter weight primarily in open air sheds. The live birds are then either purchased by the integrators for slaughter and further processing or by a wholesaler who distributes them via live markets.
