industry in India is charting a trajectory of positive growth, thanks to steps
the Government of India is taking to ensure the vibrant sector doubles
production and thus significantly increases incomes for farmers.Prime Minister Narendra Modi has encouraged
everyone to put their hearts and minds to double production in the dairy,
fisheries and poultry sectors which has resulted in the Commerce and Industry
ministry finalising a policy to double farmers' income by creating economic
opportunities for farmers and rural youths through implementing projects and
entrepreneurship programmes.The Ministry of Food Processing
Industries is pushing forward programmes to enhance a strong and dynamic food processing
sector that plays a vital role reducing wastage of perishable produce,
enhancing shelf life of food products, diversification & commercialisation
of agriculture and creating surplus for the export of agro & processed
foods, among others.
The Ministry of Agriculture and
Farmers Welfare have also avowed to help women play multi-dimensional roles in
poultry farming, among others. Women are involved in 48 percent
agriculture-related employment whereas 7.5 crore women are playing a
significant role in milk production and livestock management. The Ministry's
aim is to ensure women contribute effectively in production and productivity,

Equipment Manufacturers' Association (IPEMA), organisers of the 11th Poultry
India Expo (November 22-24) and Knowledge Day Technical Seminar (November 21)

extremely happy at the way the Government is progressing because it clearly
demonstrates the sector's best practices and international standards to produce

Governments. Poultry farming in India is a culmination of many years of
innovation and ingenuity in the face of tough circumstances. Today the
industry, with its enabling of low cost model with increased productivity, is a
showcase of success like few, across the world.
"Also, thanks to these welcome Government

is rampant in our country. As we are aware India is protein deficient. More

which need to be proactively responded for Poultry sector to grow further and
contribute towards the national food and nutritional security. Many industry

integrated production systems, technological development, contract growing,
marketing activities have been major planks for the transformation of the
sector.
