Kazi Farms

What Kazi Farms does

Kazi Farms Limited is a Bangladeshi vertically integrated agribusiness founded in 1996 and headquartered in Dhaka, operating across poultry genetics, feed manufacturing, commercial egg production, and organic fertilizer. The company holds exclusive Bangladesh Grand-Parent franchise rights for Aviagen (Indian River/IR and Ross) and Hendrix Sasso broiler breeds, and is the national distributor for Hy-line layer genetics, making it the largest producer of commercial table eggs in Bangladesh. Its Gajaria feed mill (since 2006) is a recognized market leader in poultry feed quality and volume, producing antibiotic-free and MBM-free feed, while composted organic fertilizer from poultry manure is also a market-leading line.

The group has diversified into adjacent verticals through wholly owned subsidiaries: Kazi Food Industries Limited (premium ice cream under Bellissimo and ZaNZee, frozen foods under Kazi Farms Kitchen, established 2019 in Beron, Ashulia); Kazi Media Limited, which operates Deepto TV (satellite channel launched November 2015, became Bangladesh's most-watched channel within two weeks) and the DeeptoPlay OTT streaming platform (launched 2018); and Sysnova Information Systems Limited (founded 2008), which delivers open-source ERP solutions across pharmaceuticals, agriculture, media, and education. Proprietary technology includes in-house developed poultry-shed environmental sensors (temperature, CO2, ammonia monitoring) and an egg auction mobile app verified by independent economists as a fair price discovery mechanism.

The company monetizes through direct sales of chicks, feed, eggs, and fertilizer to commercial poultry farmers, fish farmers, and agricultural farmers across Bangladesh via 23 sales offices covering all 8 administrative divisions, supported by a dedicated direct sales force and on-site solar power infrastructure (6.71 MWp installed, scaling to 20 MWp by 2025). Subscription and advertising revenue is generated through Deepto TV and DeeptoPlay. The Hasan family controls the group, with Founder and Managing Director Kazi Zahedul Hasan (Harvard M.Arch.) recognized as Businessperson of the Year in 2004 by the Daily Star/DHL Business Awards.
