Project Description

The project involves establishing a poultry farm aimed at producing frozen poultry, chicken giblets, and agricultural fertilizers. The farm targets multiple sectors, including hotels, restaurants, food processing companies, and local consumers.
The primary goal of the poultry farm is to achieve self-sufficiency in poultry production by reducing imports and exporting surplus products. Additionally, it aims to meet the growing demand for poultry by producing high-quality poultry products using the latest farming techniques and leveraging Kuwait’s available resources.
The project seeks to satisfy the increasing local market demand for white meat, contribute to meeting the rising poultry consumption, enhance the technical expertise of poultry farming workers, and maintain competitive pricing to secure its target market share.
This highlights that investment in the food and beverage sector is one of the highly profitable opportunities, ensuring strong economic returns.
