Astha Feed

What Astha Feed does

Astha Feed Industries Limited is a Bangladesh-based animal feed manufacturer founded in 2020 and headquartered in Uttara, Dhaka, with manufacturing operations in Sonargaon (Narayanganj) and Sreepur (Gazipur). The company produces a 60-SKU portfolio spanning poultry feed (broiler, layer, and Sonali variants), fish feed (carp starter/grower/finisher and Pabda-Gulsha nursery feeds), and cattle/dairy feed (premium dairy, premium beef, dairy cattle, and beef cattle pellets). Production uses imported American and European feed-processing machinery with advanced proportioning software, supported by an in-house research center and laboratory that tests incoming ingredients for moisture, protein, fat, fiber, mycotoxins, and pathogens before finished-feed release. The firm holds a Category-1 Licence from the Department of Livestock Services and is a member of the Bangladesh Poultry Industries Association.

Astha Feed distributes through a network of 605 authorized dealers across Bangladesh, supplemented by company-operated depots (e.g., Bhairab, Kishoreganj) and direct farmer engagement via social media, internet marketing, direct mail, and point-of-sale promotions. The company reports an installed base of 11,495 'Happy Farmers' and a stated annual production capacity of 160,000 tons of feed. Sister-concern entities (Ibratas Trading Company for raw-material and additive supply, Astha Agro for agriculture, Astha Food for downstream food products, and HK) provide vertical integration into inputs and downstream channels. Dealer loyalty is reinforced through offline programs such as the Dealers Thailand Tour 2024 and Dream Team Meet & Greet Program 2024, alongside industry-show participation (WPSA Bangladesh 12th International Poultry Show).

Revenue is generated through one-time per-unit/batch sale of finished feed via dealers and direct farmer channels; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held with no external institutional investor disclosed; founding leadership comprises Chairman Mosharaf Hossain Chowdhury (also MD of Ibratas Trading), Managing Director Md. Gias Uddin Khan, COO M.A. Malek, and Directors Salauddin Emon and Saiful Islam Babu. No revenue, funding, or valuation data is disclosed in the source material.
