BPIL is the leading supplier of day-old chicks to Uganda’s chicken farmers. The company has attractive opportunities for growth in its day-old chick business domestically and abroad, as well as expansion opportunities in adjacent markets for chicken feeds and dressed chicken. Voxtra’s investment will enable the company to continue its growth in day-old chicks and address a large unmet demand for quality chicken feed.
