The Indian poultry industry is going through its worst crisis, this time from unsubstantiated fears linking the spread of COVID-19 to chicken consumption.

Urja Foods and Agro’s hatchery unit spread over 10 acres in Gawadewadi village of Pune district’s Ambegaon taluka wears a deserted look. Not surprising at all, when its production of day-old chicks was 5.4 lakh in February but is unlikely to cross 2 lakh this month. This is against the hatchery’s normal monthly capacity of 6 lakh.

“In February alone, we lost Rs 10 crore. The only way not to sink further is to produce less,” says Pramod Hinge Patil, the owner of the Rs 100 crore-turnover private limited company that “places” its day-old chicks with some 500 farmers. Urja Foods also supplies poultry feed and medicines to farmers within 50-km radius of Ambegaon, mainly in Pune and some in Ahmednagar district.
