Barkat Frisian Agro completes trial run at new Faisalabad plant

March 17, 2026 (MLN): Barkat Frisian Agro Limited (BFAGRO) has revealed significant progress in its operational expansion and strategic growth initiatives, marked a major leap forward in its mission to dominate the pasteurized egg and poultry processing sector.

The company confirmed the successful completion of the trial run at its newly established production facility located in M-3 Industrial City, Faisalabad, according to the company's statement issued today.

This state-of-the-art facility, which was a core component of the company’s expansion plan disclosed during its Initial Public Offering (IPO), is designed to significantly enhance production capacity to meet the rising demand for high-quality pasteurized egg products in both local and international export markets.

Following this successful trial phase, the company expects to commence full commercial operations by the beginning of next month, keeping the project strictly on track with the timelines previously shared with investors.

In addition to the Faisalabad plant, Barkat Frisian Agro Limited is making rapid strides in diversifying its product portfolio through the establishment of a dedicated egg powder production facility.

The company has confirmed that orders for the necessary plant and specialized equipment have already been placed, with the required Letters of Credit (LCs) successfully established to facilitate the import and installation of machinery.

Construction activities for this facility have officially commenced and are progressing according to the planned schedule.

This new vertical is expected to provide the company with a competitive edge by offering long-shelf-life dried egg products, further solidifying its footprint in the value-added agro-industrial space.

Parallel to its processing expansions, the company is aggressively pursuing a backward integration strategy through poultry layer farming to secure its supply chain and enhance operational efficiency.

Barkat Frisian has successfully acquired the required land for this initiative and has initiated the construction of the necessary farming infrastructure.

By placing orders for advanced poultry farming equipment and establishing the relevant LCs, the company is moving toward a vertically integrated model that reduces dependency on external suppliers and ensures a consistent supply of raw materials.

Collectively, these initiatives represent pivotal milestones in the company’s broader strategy to drive sustainable long-term growth and deliver increased value to its shareholders and stakeholders.
