Akhwat Hatchery produced its first hatch on 28 December 2007 and this was the first such activity in almost 24 years. The hatching was considered of high quality with an 83% hatch rate. This was a private Poultry Hatchery that was built and started activities with the assistance of the USAID-funded Alternative Development Program – Eastern Region, Private Sector Development Team.
The team provided managerial and technical support as well as secured a loan for the hatchery through the ARFC another USAID-funded organization. The initial eggs for the hatchery were provided by the ADP/E Agri-business program in support of the Eastern Region’s Poultry Program. The newly hatched chicks will be distributed by the Spinghar Poultry Association to its members, half of whom were female farmers to be raised for commercial purposes.
Akhwat Hatchery has a total capacity of hatching 45,000 chicks per week and for our Customer demand we import Day old Broiler and Breeder chicks from Pakistan and Iran as well.
The company is also establishing its Breeder farm in the Eastern Region that will supply eggs for its’ own use and other hatcheries as well. The Hatchery is located at Hada Akhundzada, approximately 10 km southeast of Jalalabad city.
The breeder farm will have the capacity of 5,000 breeders at a time and will reduce the need to import eggs into Afghanistan. This integrated operation will reduce the risk of introducing poultry diseases from outside sources.

The hatchery will stimulate the development of new poultry growers as they will now have access to a reliable source of disease-free, day-old chicks locally. The ultimate aim of our business is to help expand the region’s current poultry industry.
Our chicks and fertilized eggs will be available to the Nangarhar, Laghman, Kunar, Nuristan and Kabul markets in the first phase while in later phases the hatchery will spread out its product to various parts of the country.
