Islamabad: Wandat Poultry Farm Limited's Board of Directors convened on Wednesday in Islamabad to deliberate over and approve several key initiatives set to shape the company's future operations. The meeting, held on July 15, 2026, outlined significant developments including the approval of the annual budget and a series of expansion plans.
The board approved the company's Annual Budget and Business Plan for the fiscal year starting July 1, 2026, extending through June 30, 2027. A major highlight from the meeting was the proposal to establish an additional powdered-egg processing line. This new facility will be co-located with the company's existing liquid pasteurized egg plant. The strategy to share existing infrastructure is aimed at achieving cost efficiencies, while the powdered egg product itself is expected to offer a higher margin and longer shelf life. The funding for this project is proposed to be sourced through bank borrowing, pending further approval of terms by the board.
In addition to the powdered egg plant, the board approved the procurement and installation of storage silos, which will increase the company's grain storage capacity by approximately 14,000 tones. This strategic move is anticipated to reduce operational costs and wastage, offering a low-maintenance solution for storing multiple grains.
The board also addressed the need for additional funds to support these initiatives. They evaluated management's assessment of the financial and operational viability and directed them to explore funding options from financial institutions. Definitive financing proposals are expected to be submitted to the board for approval in due course.
According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), these initiatives align with the company’s strategic objectives to enhance productivity and operational efficiency. Wandat Poultry Farm Limited continues to explore avenues to fortify its market position and optimize its operational framework.
These developments, though financially intensive, underscore the company's commitment to growth and innovation within the poultry sector, as it seeks to leverage new opportunities and reinforce its competitive edge.
