Business
Astral Foods Limited is South Africa's largest integrated poultry producer, encompassing the full value chain from animal feed manufacturing, broiler genetics, and production of day-old chicks and hatching eggs; breeder and broiler farming; abattoir processing; to further processing, sales, and distribution of fresh, frozen, and value-added poultry products. The company operates through Poultry and Feed segments, offering branded products such as Goldi, County Fair, Festive, SupaStar, Ross, National Chicks, CAL, Earlybird, and Mountain Valley; while its feed operations under Meadow Feeds and Tiger Animal Feeds produce nutrition for poultry, pigs, and other livestock. Founded in 2001 and headquartered at Lanseria Corporate Estate in Gauteng, South Africa, Astral conducts primary operations in South Africa with feed facilities in Zambia and Mozambique, serving wholesale, retail, and quick-service restaurant customers including Spur, KFC, Nando’s, and Famous Brands Group. In its fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, Astral reported revenue growth of 10.4% to R22.6 billion, driven by higher broiler slaughter volumes averaging 5.8 million birds per week, increased external feed sales, and improved production efficiencies despite challenges like avian influenza risks and elevated input costs; operating profit rose 10.9% to R1.25 billion, with the Feed Division achieving 31.1% profit growth to R714 million on expanded volumes. The company strengthened its balance sheet with over R1 billion in cash, generated R1.7 billion from operations, and increased capital expenditure 20.9% to R336 million for efficiency enhancements and capacity expansion supporting retail and QSR sector growth; it also resumed dividends with a total payout of 1,100 cents per share, up 112%. In July 2024, Mianzo Limited acquired a 5.16% stake, marking a notable ownership change.
