Kudumbashree’s Kerala Chicken to go in for value-added products
The Hindu
Processing plants planned in Thiruvananthapuram, Kozhikode, and Palakkad
Kerala Chicken, an enterprise under the Kudumbashree Mission, has come through nearly two years of restrictions due to COVID-19 to achieve sales of around ₹50 crore and a daily turnover of around ₹25 lakh.
Kudumbashree sources said the success of Kerala Chicken had prompted the Mission to consider launching processed meat and value-added products in the immediate future.
Value-added products and processed meat are planned to be launched from three districts now depending on space availability for processing plants. Thiruvananthapuram, Kozhikode, and Palakkad are being considered as possible locations, while a final decision will be taken on the basis of space availability, the sources said.
