Karandaaz has made an investment for 27 percent equity stakes in Wahdat Poultry Farms, based in Sargodha. Established in 2007, Wahdat Farm is a pioneer in introducing Pakistan to branded healthy eggs through automated technology with a daily production capacity of over 200,000 eggs. Karandaaz’s investment will be used as growth capital by Wahdat Farms to increase the number of sheds. As a result, the egg production and bird rearing capacity of Wahdat Farm will increase considerably. The per capita annual consumption of eggs in Pakistan is only 90 versus a global average of 300 leaving a significant nutrition gap. With a rising middle class, the per capita consumption of eggs especially the branded and healthier eggs is expected to grow at a fast pace.
