Kadila Poultry targets 2.9 million birds annually

… warns of the risk posed by unregulated imports

Kadila Poultry Farming, a local poultry producer, is targeting an annual production of approximately 2.9 million birds, with plans to slaughter 100 tonnes of poultry per week, equating to around 55,000 chickens.

 The company’s facility is equipped with six broiler units capable of producing 400 tonnes of poultry meat per month.

Immanuel Kadhila, Managing Director of Eos Capital, which holds an investment in Kadila Poultry , told The Brief the company does not currently export poultry products but has the potential to expand into Arab markets.

 He highlighted that for this expansion to take place, slaughter facilities must be Halaal-certified, a requirement that Kadila’s facilities already meet. This certification makes export a viable future avenue for the company.

Kadhila explained that although Kadila Poultry  has previously sold to local retailers such as Metro Namibia and Woermann Brock (WB), the company has shifted its focus to wholesalers.

“Retail distribution in Namibia is cost-intensive, requiring rebates, merchandising, price deals, and marketing support. Wholesalers, on the other hand, already possess the necessary infrastructure to service retailers directly, eliminating additional costs and simplifying distribution logistics,” he said.

However, Kadhila raised concerns about the increasing influx of unregulated foreign poultry imports, which he believes threaten the local sector.

 â€œIf low-cost imports continue to flood the market, these investments will be undermined, leading to financial losses for local investors and a weakened poultry sector. Furthermore, food security is at risk if Namibia remains dependent on foreign poultry supplies. A strong, locally driven poultry industry ensures resilience, safeguards jobs, and strengthens economic sustainability,” he warned.

Kadhila further noted that many Namibian consumers often opt for cheaper imported alternatives, making it essential to implement stricter import controls to protect local producers.

 â€œKadila’s poultry products are well-received in terms of quality, but the market remains highly influenced by price sensitivity. Namibia is making significant strides toward self-sufficiency in poultry production, reducing reliance on imports,” he said.

Kadila Poultry Farming is a joint venture between Eos Capital, Africa Venture Partner Projects (AVPP), and Oyeno Poultry Industries. Namibia is estimated to import between 2,000 to 2,500 tonnes of poultry meat monthly, indicating a growing opportunity for local producers.

Founded in 2015, Eos Capital is an unlisted investment manager with over N$1 billion in assets under its management, across three mandates: general private equity, infrastructure, and agriculture.
