Wahdat Poultry plans new egg powder plant, 14,000-tonne grain storage expansion

Wahdat Poultry Farm Limited has approved plans to add a powdered-egg processing line and install storage silos with a capacity of about 14,000 tonnes, according to a disclosure by the company to the PSX on Thursday. 

The company’s board approved the proposals at a meeting held on July 15, 2026, along with its annual budget and business plan for the period from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027.

The proposed egg powder plant will be located alongside the company’s existing liquid pasteurised egg facility and will use the same building, utilities and infrastructure.

Wahdat Poultry said the shared setup was expected to lower costs, while egg powder would offer higher margins and a longer shelf life than liquid products.

The additional capital cost for the processing facility is expected to be financed through bank borrowing, subject to further board approval of the final terms.

The board also approved procurement and installation of storage silos that would raise the company’s grain storage capacity by around 14,000 tonnes.

The silos will be able to store different grains and are expected to reduce operational costs, limit wastage and require relatively low maintenance.

The company said it would need additional funding for the egg powder plant, silos, replacement of its existing flock and associated working capital.

Management has been directed to assess financing options from financial institutions and submit final proposals to the board for approval.
