Why investors choose an operating business
Purchasing an operating poultry farm allows investors to avoid the lengthy and complex procedures of starting a business from scratch—selecting premises, equipment, productive poultry breeds, sourcing feed suppliers, and establishing sales channels. By choosing this option, the buyer obtains ready infrastructure and established production with real financial performance indicators.
Key advantages of acquiring an operating asset:
- Stable demand for products. Production of poultry meat and eggs, meat of other poultry species, or related products usually has a consistent customer base and established sales channels, ensuring predictable sales and continuous cash flow.
- Predictable turnover. Analysis of the farm’s financial indicators makes it possible to realistically assess revenues, expenses, and potential profit before acquiring the asset.
- Faster return on investment in agribusiness compared to launching a poultry farm from scratch.
- Scalability of production — launching new production lines and expanding the product range and sales markets.
As a real estate asset, a poultry farm combines production facilities, storage areas, administrative buildings, and land plots. Investors often consider such assets as a base for developing an agro-industrial complex or for business relocation. Professional valuation helps determine the actual investment attractiveness of the asset.
What to consider when purchasing a poultry farm
Before purchasing a poultry farm in Ukraine, an investor should assess not only the price of the asset but also its actual condition—from technical equipment to documentation. This helps avoid various risks and provides confidence in the investment.
- Production capacity and condition of equipment. Outdated or poorly maintained equipment may require additional investment before reaching full capacity.
- Poultry housing conditions. As of January 1, 2026, Ukraine plans to introduce new EU-integration requirements regarding the welfare of farm animals. The relevant regulation establishes standards for premises, lighting, feeding, and other conditions, and obliges business owners to keep records of veterinary care and preventive measures and to retain such records for three years.
- Availability of permits and approvals — veterinary passport, registration of the food market operator’s facility with the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection, organic production certificate, export permits, etc.
- Land and buildings. Prior to concluding the transaction, it is essential to verify ownership and lease rights to real estate, confirm the designated use of the land plot, and ensure the absence of encumbrances.
It is equally important to accurately calculate operating and modernization costs and to determine the business’s profitability.
