Wahdat Poultry expands egg processing with new powder plant

July 16, 2026 (MLN): Wahdat Poultry Farm Limited (PSX: WAHDAT) board of directors has approved a proposal to add a powdered-egg processing line, co-located with the company's already-approved liquid pasteurized egg plant.

Being co-located, the facility will share existing building, utilities and infrastructure, resulting in cost efficiencies, with the product offering a higher margin and longer shelf life.

The incremental capital cost of this facility is proposed to be funded through bank borrowing, subject to further board approval of definitive terms.

The board, in its meeting held on July 15, 2026 at Islamabad, also approved a proposal for procurement and installation of storage silos, increasing the company's grain storage capacity by approximately 14,000 tonnes.

The silos can be used to store multiple grains, with the initiative expected to reduce operational cost and wastage while carrying low ongoing maintenance cost.

The board approved the annual budget and business plan of the company for the period July 01, 2026 to June 30, 2027.

In connection with the proposed egg powder plant, the silos, and rearing to replace the company's existing flock together with associated working capital, the board considered management's assessment of financial and operational viability and concluded that additional funding will be required.

The board has directed management to evaluate appropriate funding options from financial institutions and to bring definitive financing proposals before the board for approval in due course.

The aforementioned information was disseminated through a notification to Exchange.
