► It is well known that Antigua & Barbuda is self sufficient in eggs. We believe
there is adequate supply of birds on the island to sustain the needs for eggs for
the coming months. Our only challenge may be in the area of feed. This will be
addressed in a subsequent slide.
The poultry industry is plagued with the inability to process on any large scale.
We are seeking assistance from the government for US $20,000.00 to purchase and
establish a small processing unit to allow for processing of broilers for meat. This
will greatly increase our capacity.
Small and low interested loans to purchase birds and feed to allow for an increase
in meat production immediately. We have already sourced the chicks and have
spoken to the feed company to purchase bulk feed.
Tightening of the market to disallow imports of eggs. Most hotels have
significantly reduced their orders putting a large amount of eggs back on the
market for sales. In fact, we are anticipating a glut of eggs shortly on the market,
therefore, we are recommending constant communication with the Poultry
Association to determine our capabilities to supply eggs before license are signed
off.View entire presentation
