Wahdat Poultry IPO: McDonald’s egg supplier goes public

In Pakistan, the poultry business is dominated by the informal market, where hygiene and nutrition are often overlooked.

Then, Wahdat Poultry Farm Ltd entered the scene with a radical idea — produce eggs with high nutritional value in hygienic farms. However, there was a concern: will people pay to buy nutritionally enriched eggs, which cost more than ordinary eggs?

The company overcame the odds to become one of the largest suppliers of nutritionally enriched eggs, with over 1,500 retail stores selling their product in Pakistan. It is also providing eggs to a global fast-food chain in Pakistan and Qatar.

The company is now preparing to enter the Pakistan Stock Exchange and raise PKR 640 million to expand its operations to cater to the growing demand for pasteurized eggs.
