Synopsis (short abstract) Inclusive business models promote the integration of smallholders into markets, with the underlying principle that there are mutual benefits for poor farmers and the business community. A business model describes how any given enterprise – large or small, informal or formal – creates and markets its products or services, obtains finance, and sources inputs. Each enterprise has its own unique business model.

    The specific objectives of this study are to document the business models at the different nodes of the poultry value chain, to assess the profitability of the different segments of the poultry industry, and to preliminarily assess the current biosecurity measures adopted by the different businesses. The study covered 4 districts in 2 governorates (Menoufia & Qalyubia). The surveyed poultry businesses are profitable yet face limited growth prospects due to internal weaknesses and external challenges. The internal weaknesses are related to the maturity of the business operations and limited adoption of biosecurity practices, which often result in reduced profitability and public health threats; the external challenges are related to the volatile market conditions, which have been exacerbated by the COVID 19 pandemic.
