GoldenNest Poultry Farms (Pty) Ltd Business Plan › Products & Services

5.1 Product Portfolio

GoldenNest Poultry Farms will offer a diversified range of egg products to serve multiple market segments:

5.1.1 Conventional Table Eggs

Standard large and medium-grade eggs produced from conventional cage and enriched colony systems. These will constitute the core product line, targeting price-sensitive retail and wholesale customers. Eggs will be graded in accordance with the South African Agricultural Product Standards Act (Act 119 of 1990) and APS Regulations for Eggs.

5.1.2 Free-Range Eggs

Premium eggs from hens with access to outdoor range areas, produced in accordance with the SAPA (South African Poultry Association) Free-Range Standards. These products will target health-conscious and ethically motivated consumers willing to pay a 30–50% price premium.

5.1.3 Branded Packaged Eggs

Eggs will be packaged under the GoldenNest brand in 6-pack, 12-pack, and 30-tray formats for retail sale. Packaging will feature the Company’s branding, traceability codes, and production date information.

5.1.4 Private-Label and Co-Branded Eggs

The Company will offer private-label packaging services for major retailers seeking to market eggs under their own house brands. This arrangement provides access to high-volume, consistent retail shelf space.

5.1.5 Bulk and Institutional Supply

Unbranded or minimally branded eggs supplied in bulk 30-tray and 60-tray formats to restaurants, hotels, bakeries, catering companies, and food manufacturers (e.g., mayonnaise, pasta, and baked goods producers).

• Poultry Manure: Composted chicken manure will be sold to crop farmers and garden centres as organic fertiliser. Estimated revenue: R300–R500 per tonne.

• Empty Feed Bags and Packaging Waste: Recycled or sold to recycling depots.

5.3 Quality Assurance and Food Safety

All products will be produced, graded, and packaged in compliance with:

• South African National Standards (SANS 885) for egg grading
