Poultry & Egg Production Industry. BOUNTY AGRO VENTURES, INC. has 900 total

VENTURES, INC. corporate family.
Bounty Agro Ventures, Inc. was established in 1997 as a family business of[4][5] Tennyson Chen.
The company initially started as a supplier of dressed whole chicken and chicken parts under
the Bounty Fresh brand to retailers.[6] Chen has been involved in the poultry business as early as
the 1980s, who began with a layer farm in Santa Maria, Bulacan with 5,000 chickens.[5]
The company was threatened by the gradual implementation of the ASEAN Free Trade Area of
the late-1990s and faced fiercer competition from other producers in Southeast Asia, particularly
in Thailand, which could offer larger chicken at the same price Bounty offers. The
implementation of the free trade area led to Bounty's later expansion to sell cooked chicken.[5]
By 2002, Bounty started serving its chicken products under vacuum packaging, being the first
company to do so in the local market. At around that time Bounty has a ten percent share of the
market.[6]
In 2008, Bounty launched the Chooks-to-Go rotisserie chain, which was initially known as
Bounty Fresh Oven Roasted Chicken. It set up a second brand, Uling Roasters which sells
charcoal-roasted chicken.

Antonio Herrando
Antonio Herrando, a 25 year old poultry farmer, has chosen the turnkey houses made by
Gandaria, a Silos Cordoba’s group company, for his great personal projet: raising chickens on a
farm located in Alameda de la Sagra (Toledo).
Antonio Herrando’s history is linked to the poultry industry because of his grandfather. He was a
former owner of the company Ranchos Pecuarios, currently Avimosa and started his adventure
as an entrepreneur, with the business of laying hens and feed mills that supplied to farms in the
area. His grandfather’s business is still standing beside the new broiler farm of his grandson,
called Explotación Díaz Guerra in honor of his mother’s surnames.
I chose Silos Córdoba for their good performance as well as their good materials and quality of
service.
In Alameda de Sagra, a municipality in the province of Toledo, Antonio Herrando is breeding
37,000 chickens on a fully automated Silos Córdoba poultry facility. The facility is 150 x 15
meters, plus two technical rooms annexed. It is integrated within Avimosa, it could not be
otherwise, and though at the time of the visit he had carried out only one breeding cycle,
expansion was already on his mind. The example of this young 25 year old entrepreneur is a
hope for the poultry industry, which often lacks generational relay.

Mary Muhatia
A project to promote indigenous chicken by the Kenya Agricultural Productivity Project (KAPP)
in 2011 proved to be a turning point for Mary Muhatia, a widow from Lirhanda village,
Kakamega County.
Mrs Muhatia started poultry farming in 2003 with four indigenous birds. She later bought 50
broilers of which 30 died.
Despite losing over half of the birds, she did not give up. She ordered 100 improved indigenous
chicken from the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organisation (KALRO) in
Naivasha at a cost of Sh100 per chick. Seventy of the birds survived and 30 died.
“When my husband died, I had to take care of my family. I took up odd jobs that weren’t paying
much. I decided to try my luck in poultry farming and that’s where my journey began,” she said.
Determined to run her poultry venture professionally, she enrolled for a management course
which was being offered by KAPP.
