IFC provides second US$10 million loan to expand Adal Azyk’s poultry operations

KYRGYZSTAN – The International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, is providing a second loan of up to US$10 million equivalent in Kyrgyz soms to Adal Azyk LLC and its subsidiaries to expand poultry production, including feed manufacturing and broiler farming.

The investment will support completion of a new feed mill and development of a broiler farm in Kemin district.

The facilities are expected to increase the company’s poultry production capacity, strengthen its feed supply, and improve connections among local farmers, processors, and distributors.

Adal Azyk, which operates the Toyboss brand, is among Kyrgyzstan’s leading poultry producers and meat processors.

The expansion forms part of its plan to develop an integrated production system linking feed manufacturing, poultry farming, processing and distribution.

The latest financing brings IFC’s total investment package for the company’s expansion programme to up to US$20 million in local currency, following the first phase announced in July 2025.

Feed production central to poultry expansion

The planned feed mill is a key component of the investment, supporting the company’s efforts to strengthen feed supply for its expanding broiler operations.

Integrating feed production with poultry farming can improve control over feed availability and production costs while supporting more consistent supply across the company’s operations.

Adal Azyk CEO Myrzabek Orumbaev said the financing would help advance the company’s transition towards a fully integrated farm-to-table model, expand production and strengthen local supply chains.

The project is expected to support nearly 3,900 direct, indirect and induced jobs across the poultry value chain.

More than 250 new direct positions are anticipated at Adal Azyk, alongside approximately 730 temporary jobs during construction.

Farmers and businesses supplying agricultural inputs, processing and distribution services are also expected to benefit.

IFC adds technical support for poultry production

Alongside financing, IFC will provide advisory support to improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions and strengthen corporate governance.

The programme will also cover animal health and biosecurity, important areas for managing disease risks and maintaining poultry production standards.

Wagner Albuquerque de Almeida, IFC’s regional industry director for Manufacturing, Agribusiness and Services in the Middle East and Central Asia, said the investment would help connect local farmers to modern commercial supply chains, support rural employment and reduce reliance on food imports.

The International Development Association’s Private Sector Window Local Currency Facility supports the financing by helping businesses access local currency funding and manage foreign exchange risks.

For Kyrgyzstan’s poultry industry, the expansion adds broiler capacity, invests in feed manufacturing, and strengthens supply-chain integration.

Its implementation is expected to support domestic poultry production and increase opportunities for local agricultural suppliers
